Panel Discussion as part of Degrees of Concern exhibition

For decades science has shown that global warming is real and upon us. Yet urgency for climate action, communicated by scholars, citizens and activists is at an impasse. What then is the contribution of artistic practice and research in shifting this inaction?

Please join us for a lively panel discussion with;

Alexander Boynes, exhibiting artist and curator

Ngaio Fitzpatrick, exhibiting artist and Visiting Fellow with the ANU Institute for Energy, Climate and Disaster Solutions

Professor Mark Howden, Director, ANU Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions

Facilitated by Dr Rebecca Mayo, Artist, Lecturer in Printmedia & Drawing, ANU School of Art & Design

This panel discussion and exhibition is part of Aquifer, a Territory-wide program of dialogue, events and exhibitions responding to the current climate crisis.

Aquifer brings a Territory-wide focus to incite the activation of conversations on the impacts of climate change drawing attention to our citizen responsibilities to act now at a time when the global pandemic dominates media cycles.
