Trickster Company, Kindred Post and KTOO Public Media presents the 2018 Celebration Sessions featuring Juneau artist Lily Hope.

The two-day gathering discussed identity, becoming an ally, decolonization and political activism through presentations and performances from leaders in the social justice community.

The idea of the show happened out of conversations with friends and colleagues who were angry that stories about gender-based violence weren’t being heard, said director Allison Holtkamp.

U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith is visiting Juneau as part of a national tour to rural communities in Alaska, South Dakota, Maine and Louisiana.

After their breakout set at this year’s Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau, Seattle by-way-of Southeast Alaska band Amish Robots have changed their name to Revilla and released a new EP.

Each spring, about 50 pickers young and old get paid a few bucks a pound to collect spruce tips during a short harvest window in small town Gustavus.

The totem pole was created for Goldbelt Heritage Foundation and Douglas Indian Association, as part of a healing process for the T’aaḵú Ḵwáan Tlingit tribe. The pole memorializes the deliberate burning of Akáx Yaa Andagán, the Douglas Indian village, in 1962 and honors the residents who lost their homes.

The students are auctioning off the backdrop to raise money for their trip to Craig to compete in the Region V Art Fest.
