Join us as we explore, through astrophotographer Travis Novitsky's eyes, the human connection to the aurora, Milky Way, and the wonder of the universe above us. Travis is a proud member and lifelong resident of the Grand Portage Anishinaabe Nation in northeast Minnesota. His images not only reflect the natural wonders of the region but also honor the cultural significance of the cosmos within Indigenous traditions. Travis Novitsky is a self-taught astrophotographer whose work is deeply connected to his love of the night sky and ancestral homelands. For over 35 years, he has devoted himself to capturing the beauty of the night sky over the North Shore of Lake Superior, with a particular passion for photographing the northern lights and star-filled skies.
Travis’s work has been featured prominently in projects that celebrate Indigenous perspectives on the night sky. He served as co-producer and narrator for the award-winning 2022 documentary Northern Nights, Starry Skies. He is also the photographer for the book Spirits Dancing - The Night Sky, Indigenous Knowledge & Cultural Connections to the Cosmos.
