leroy berger

About

A multidisciplinary designer and artist from Sakha Republic. His work explores how indigeneity can exist outside of the local environment and community, what substitutes as home, how indigenous culture and practices can be present in the time of globalization. Berger works with languages, writing, video, graphic and publication design to start a conversation on these topics, and hopefully build a supportive community.

Based in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
