Why do you live in the Yukon?

From Haruko Okano

Please write in the books in the show!
I’d like to gently remind Yukon residents to write your reflections in the books of All Fall Down, the paper tree installation that is part of the exhibition at the Yukon Art Centre’s gallery. I want this work to go to Mexico and elsewhere with the direct voice of Yukoners.

Why did you choose to live in the Yukon? What keeps you here? What are your concerns or do you have any about the future of the Yukon?

Give insight about your daily life in the far north that other people might not know about – in this land where you live in the largest, intact remaining boreal forest in the world.

It is important that it be only Yukon residents, and not visitors from elsewhere, that write in the books in order for the image painted in words and narrative remain that of those who live in the Yukon on a daily basis.
