Experience the Arctic: A Williamsburg pop-up By Paul Frangipane Greenpoint Gazette
In a frozen sea of pop-ups, Brooklyn’s latest is spending its limited time to bring urbanites to the endangered lands of Alaska in an effort to motive young people to protect one of the few undeveloped places on Earth. “The Arctic Refuge Experience: Step in Step up,” is a sensory explosion of sights, textures and smells that can all be found in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. After decades of protection, the nearly 20 million-acre area is about to be opened to oil drilling, a move that advocates fear will destroy its wildlife and threaten its indigenous inhabitants. “We think the Arctic refuge is incredibly valuable, incredibly special, it’s frankly a place that few people will ever get to visit … so we hope that showing this place and showing the people will help inspire a new generation of advocates to take action,” said Edit Ruano of the Wilderness Society, one of the groups responsible for the exhibit.
Images and sounds of the local wildlife flood the screens.
