Editing The Wreck-site

[[File:Landmark small.png|thumb]]

The Wrecksite as a figuration to think with emerges from the existing wrecks of HMS Terror and Erebus, in the vicinity of Gjoa Haven: material traces of long-standing Inuit-Qablunaat (non-Inuit) encounters. 

These sites are not static ruins but spaces where history, knowledge, and materiality continue to create meaning and matter. 

Research as a wreck-site is not just about what is uncovered, but how research itself becomes a contested space, claimed, studied, and sometimes fought over. Shaped by seasonal forces as shifting ice and weather limit access, altering what can be seen, gathered, or known, it also becomes a foundations for new growth. 

My research is both a site of "becoming reef," opening new relational possibilities, as it is part of becoming research "heritage"- shaped by layered histories and ongoing transformation.
