Originally from Tuktoyaktuk, Maureen Gruben explores the erosion of Arctic territories and the resilience of Inuvialuit communities. For her installation Nuna Aliannaittuq (2025), she gathered thousands of clay beads shaped by members of her community with earth sourced from eroding coastal sites. She also presents a work incorporating map transparencies found at an abandoned oil-and-gas camp, as well as a video, Kagisaaluq Highway (2025), which captures her encounter with newly exposed permafrost. Blending collaborative practices, local materials, and territorial memory, Gruben underscores the deep connections among environment, culture, and Indigenous self-determination in the face of climate upheaval.
