In Human Time – Special Event – Tour + Reception [EVENT]
PLEASE RSVP
To: Students of Global, Urban, and Environmental Studies
Please join us for a special event on Tuesday, February 6, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. We’ve arranged a private tour of the newest exhibit at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (66 Fifth Avenue), In Human Time, where we’ll be meeting with some of the team from The Climate Museum to discuss this fascinating exhibit. A private reception will follow.
We’re inviting all students of the interdisciplinary undergraduate programs in Global, Urban, and Environmental Studies with the goal of discovering interesting synergies across the three programs. We hope you can join us for this unique opportunity!
In Human Time, the first exhibition of the Climate Museum, explores intersections of polar ice, humanity, and time through installations of work by Zaria Forman and Peggy Weil. The poles of the Earth can seem implacably vast, unchangeable and forbidding. But every week of climate news confirms that polar ice, far from invulnerable, is profoundly affected by human activity. How does this contradiction between invulnerability and fragility reflect on us? What does polar ice tell us about ourselves? Learn more about the exhibit
