We welcome environmental researchers, students, artists, cultural workers, and anyone interested in the topics to attend. The seminars will be held online, via Zoom.

The first seminars in the series will be on the theme of Materiality.
Art and Environment: Materiality Seminar Series
The Art and Environment: Materiality seminar series explores the intersection between art and environmental research. Each seminar features two practitioners from different disciplines who come together to discuss their work and methods in relation to specific environmental actors. In the first seminars of the series, to be held in Autumn of 2023, the space where disciplines coalesce will be around the topics of seaweed, trees, and ice. Multiple perspectives on the same subject provide both the audience and researchers the opportunity to explore new possibilities for working and communicating with a broader public where art and the environment meet. The seminars work to show the entanglements of the cultural, biological, temporal, and social, as evident in the material natural world.
