About the Exhibition
Tricksters and Sourdoughs examines the distinctive ways Alaskans use humor as a survival tool, coping mechanism and vehicle for creating and sharing culture. This exhibition considers laughter as a powerful means of resistance and social critique as well as release, affirmation, and connection. Incorporating Alaska Native contemporary art, cartoons, ephemera, films, memes, and other elements of Alaska pop culture, Tricksters and Sourdoughs offers a rich and varied portrait of Alaska identity by revealing what makes us chuckle, cringe and nod in recognition.
