SUMMARY:Author Book Talk: Francesca Du Brock
DESCRIPTION:About the Author: As Chief Curator at the Anchorage Museum\, Francesca Du Brock’s curatorial practice is informed by her background as an artist and educator and is grounded in social engagement\, place-based storytelling\, environmental justice\, and experimental museum practice. Recent projects including Dog Show (2025)\, How to Survive (2023)\, Black Lives in Alaska: Journey\, Justice Joy (2021)\, and Extra Tough: Women of the North (2020)\, focus on topics of care and climate\, interdependence\, representation\, Northern feminisms\, and immigration. In 2020\, she established the Museum’s Virtual Artist Residency program\, which continues to provide unrestricted support to artists\, sharing process and behind-the-scenes insights into their lives and practices. Born and raised in Anchorage\, Alaska on Dena’ina Ełnena\, she holds a BA in Art History from Bowdoin College\, an MFA from the San Francisco Arts Institute\, and an M.Ed from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. She is a current fellow at the Center for Curatorial Leadership and was awarded the 2025 Marica Vilcek Prize in Art History for her community-centered approach to curation. She is the editor of the recently published anthology\, How to Survive: Practicing Care in a Changing Climate. \nAbout the Book: In a warming Arctic\, Alaskans are leading efforts to adapt\, innovate\, mitigate loss\, and protect life. Contributors to this anthology connect Alaska stories to global contexts\, considering ideas of interdependence\, place-based knowledge\, repair\, and activism\, offering novel ways of understanding our responsibilities to each other and to the planet. Climate-resilient futures depend on our collective ability to imagine\, act\, and envision alternative ways of being. The contributors include these artists\, authors\, and activists: Francesca Du Brock\, Julie Decker\, Brian Adams\, Christi Belcourt\, Andrea Bowers\, The Bureau of Linguistical Reality\, Gaye Chan\, Jaimey Hamilton Faris\, Rámavuol Liisa-Rávná / Liisa-Rávná Finbog\, Jessie French\, Tarah Hogue\, Intelligent Mischief\, Jenny Irene\, Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich\, Laureli Ivanoff\, Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi\, Mary Mattingly\, Amy Meissner\, Tish O’Dell\, Julia O’Malley\, Ellie Schmidt\, Nandita Sharma\, Marie Watt.
