Moose Rising From the Snow Depths
This event has ended.
This exhibition introduces Sikachi-Alyan, a small Nanai village of indigenous people on the bank of the Amur river in the Khabarovsk Krai area of Russia, through rock rubbings and photographs of existing neolithic petroglyphs (masks) carved on the surface of basalt stones. Through various sources, we are able to observe the culture and traditions of the Nanai minorities and how this ancient history has been passed down through the village to the present day.
