Whisper of the Stars April 23, 2013

An exhibition of stunning images of traditional life in Arctic Russia will go on display at the Fair Maid’s House visitor centre.

The Whisper of the Stars exhibition provides glimpses into Northern Siberian cultures like the Chukchi, Dolgan, Even, Khanty, Komi, Nenets, Nganasan, and Yakut.

Photographer Bryan Alexander has spent a total of ten of the past 40 years living in isolated native camps and villages around the Arctic. The 40 photographs in the exhibition give a fascinating insight into daily life in this harsh environment. This is the first of what we hope will be a number of exhibitions in the Fair Maid’s House this summer.
