Art about glaciers, queer relationships, political anxiety, and the
meaning of Blackness in open space-Borealis is a shapeshifting
logbook of Aisha Sabatini Sloan's experiences moving through the
Alaskan outdoors. In Borealis, Aisha Sabatini Sloan observes
shorelines, mountains, bald eagles, and Black fellow travelers
while feeling menaced by the specter of nature writing. She
considers the meaning of open spaces versus enclosed ones and maps
out the web of queer relationships that connect her to this quaint
Alaskan town. Triangulating the landscapes she moves through with
glacial backdrops in the work of Black conceptual artists and
writers, Sabatini Sloan complicates tropes of Alaska to suggest
that the excitement, exploration, and possibility of myth-making
can also be twinned by isolation, anxiety, and boredom. Borealis is
the first book commissioned for the Spatial Species series, edited
by Youmna Chlala and Ken Chen. The series investigates the ways we
activate space through language. In the tradition of Georges
Perec's An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, Spatial Species
titles are pocket-sized editions, each keenly focused on place.
Instead of tourist spots and public squares, we encounter unmarked,
noncanonical spaces: edges, alleyways, diasporic traces. Such
intimate journeying requires experiments in language and genre,
moving travelogue, fiction, or memoir into something closer to
eating, drinking, and dreaming.
