Through frameworks of critical theory kin to xenofeminism, dromology and necropolitics, Arna constructs immersive, non-linear narratives, attempting to destabilize a dromocratic present.

Shipwreck, a month-long intervention in partnership with SIM Residency in Iceland, was more than an art exhibition. It was a place of grieving, an open space for creation, and a massive, immersive, experiential platform designed to bring abstract and overwhelming concepts down to earth. Six artists from Canada brought ruins of potential futures. Six Icelandic artists were then tasked with ‘making a home’ among these ruins. Then the public made their own offerings and adaptations. The exhibition received national press coverage and drew large audiences, despite its distance from the downtown core. Bringing Shipwreck to your location will foster deep community engagement and dialogue. It encourages participants to confront global issues through personal and collective storytelling in beautiful and poignant ways and outside of the ideologies that too often lead to conflict. Shipwreck invited everyone to contribute their interpretations and responses, creating a sense of shared responsibility and ownership over what happens next.
