Welcome
to AIVAN
Arctic Indigenous Virtual Artist Network
AIVAN is an informal platform that unites Indigenous artists throughout the Arctic and beyond to share Indigenous wisdom through creative arts. Our virtual circle is held on a weekly basis to exchange knowledge, traditional crafts techniques, and facilitate discussions on the place of Indigenous arts in the 21st century.
New Project
Elvel
The Itelmen story comes alive on screen. Shadow and puppet theater, songs, melodies, and Elders’ memories — all this in the film “Elvel”, created in collaboration with Russian and international partners to revitalize the Itelmen language and culture.
