In Flux: Perspectives on Arctic Change from Woodwell Art Science Fellows

Woodwell Climate Research Center will sponsor an exhibition of new work based on Arctic research conducted by Woodwell scientists.

Installation art by Aaron Dysart, encaustic art by Georgia Nassikas, photography by Gabrielle Russomagno, a documentary film by Michaela Grill and Karl Lemieux, and maps by Woodwell Senior Geospatial Analyst Greg Fiske will be shown together in the 1st and 2nd-floor galleries.

Artistic expression can help bridge the gap between facts and feelings by appealing directly to our emotions and our values while exploring the impacts of climate change and ways to address it. This collaborative project will illustrate through photography, sculptural pieces, and film, how art is important culturally as it is able to transmute complex information about the impact of climate change – that would otherwise not be comprehensible to the public – and reach large groups of people. Related panel discussions and speaker events will explore the connection between science and art and encourage public discourse around the climate crisis.

This exhibition is made possible in part through the generous support of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, The Falmouth Fund, and the Woodwell Climate Research Center.
