Our final fellow to introduce is Mateo Mena, who is coming to Chulitna all the way from Galicia, Spain! With work exploring the intersection of sound, ecology, and electromagnetism, we are thrilled to have him join us on the shores of Lake Clark to explore his practice in remote Alaska. Read more about Mateo below ⬇️

“Mateo Mena researches sound phenomena located at the confluence between ecology and electromagnetism. He has designed and built devices that combine technology and art, seeking to renegotiate human-nature power relations by exploring the territory’s sound dimension.
His main work aims to use sound as a vehicle to unveil hidden natural phenomena, especially within ‘Natural Radio’ broadcasts: radio transmissions of atmospheric or cosmic origin. This research has allowed him to work in isolated areas, collecting electromagnetic recordings and collaborating with astronomers, dancers, radio operators, and poets. His recent projects focus on how these invisible emissions shape our understanding of technological progress, appealing to a listening experience on the verge of disappearing.”

Now introducing: our 2026 Session 3 artist fellows 🥳 Starting off, we are so excited to welcome Bella Trigg ( ) to Chulita! Bella is a Yup’ik writer, photographer, storyteller, and installation artist traveling to Chulitna from Brooklyn, NY. Read more about Bella below ⬇️

“Bella Trigg is a Yup’ik multi-media artist and journalist based in Brooklyn, NY. Working across writing, photography, and installation, she tells stories from her lived experience as an Indigenous person in the diaspora. She is often translating stories passed down from her matriarchs, along with documenting her reconnection to familial and cultural knowledge.
Through her practice, she intends on honoring her family, the Land, and her urban Indigenous community.
From the artist:
I am a storyteller and a Native woman; I tell Native stories. I tell stories through writing. I am translating oral stories passed down from my aaka. I am retelling these stories through my own voice, being raised severed from my Iñupiaq and Yup’ik heritage, and just now learning where I belong and who we are. I also embrace telling new stories, ones that are happening as I begin to heal. This often manifests as long-form, broken prose, as I oscillate between stories of the past, stories of the now, and stories I imagine being told through a healed lineage of Iñupiaq and Yup’ik women. Through writing, through storytelling, I am a preservationist. I tell stories of my Elders, the Land, and our people. I tell stories as an art of belonging. I tell stories to heal.”

Please join us in welcoming Lauren Boilini ( ), our second Session 2 artist fellow! Lauren is traveling to the wilderness of Alaska at Chulitna from Seattle, where she is a painter and installation artist. We are so thrilled to have her join us soon at Chulitna to experience the magic of remote Lake Clark. Learn more about Lauren below ⬇️

“Lauren Boilini was born and raised in Bloomington, Indiana. She received her BFA in Painting and Art History at the Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art. As a painter she also works in installation and public art, with upcoming projects for SeaTac and Sound Transit. She has served as an artist-in-residence in Italy, Ireland, Spain, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Vermont, Vashon Island, South Carolina, Key West, MASS MoCA, and at Amazon’s headquarters. Lauren’s maximalist paintings explore ideas of excess, bringing together battles forged among species in the animal kingdom, echoing our own human behavior. Her imagery of birds, insects, snakes and other animals piled up in frenzied, often violent conflict, become so intertwined that the individuals become indistinguishable and fall into the realm of pattern. Research-based residencies at the Missoula Butterfly House, University of Virginia’s Mountain Lake Biological Station and Texas A&M’s Laguna Madre Field Station in Corpus Christi have helped develop imagery and concepts.

Lauren also teaches at The Evergreen State College and is represented by J.Rinehart Gallery in Seattle and Museo Gallery on Whidbey Island. She just installed her first museum exhibition at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art in March.”

Drumroll please for our Session 2 artist fellows 🥁🥁🥁

Meet Inge Lager (.lager ), a willow-weaver and land-artist coming to Chulitna all the way from Germany! Inge works in collaboration with the land, and we can hardly wait to see how her practice takes shape at Chulitna. Read more about Inge below 👇

“Inge Lager is a willow-weaver and land-artist based in Cologne, Germany. Her art practice is deeply inspired by and connected to the natural world. Traditional basketry techniques form the foundation of her work, while she approaches them with a sense of experimentation.
Her way of working is intuitive and collaborative with the environment. She is drawn to organic shapes that echo the rhythms of nature - woven structures that resemble nests, cocoons, or spirals.”

Usually, to get to the lodge, we fly into Port Alsworth and take a boat across the lake. But with frozen lake, we took another smaller plane across the lake for a beach landing. It’s all part of the adventure that comes with remote Alaska!
