ICE: Moment – past, present, future

Ice: Moments – past, present, future

August 21, 7-9pm

MHC Gallery’s current exhibition features the Arctic and Antarctic photographs of Klaus Hochheim – an inspiring photographer and dedicated scientist who died 10 years ago while conducting research in the Arctic. His photographs provide a time-capsule view into a polar world at risk, but given the urgency around climate change and global warming, it's relevant to ask what we have learned in the decade since these photographs were created.

On August 21 at 7 – 9pm, we will celebrate Ice: Moments and Klaus’ legacy by considering current science and art taking place in the Arctic Circle. Winnipeg-based artist Jonathan S. Greene, recent participant of the Arctic Circle arts residency and Dr. David Babb, a Research Associate with the Centre for Earth Observations Science who studies Arctic sea ice, will join us in the Gallery, surrounded by Klaus photographs’, to share their current work in the Arctic and invite us to think about the future of the polar spaces that so profoundly impact our world.
