Climate change, linked to an increase in greenhouse gasses, encompasses these and many other environmental factors that, in turn have social, political, and economic consequences. Through diverse media including photography, digital prints, sculpture, video and sound, the work of eleven BC-based artists explore climate change from different perspectives. Exhibition Run: January 22nd to April 4th, 2021Links related to the interview: Timothy Morton - Hyperobjects Apocalypse - etymologyAdditional LinksTwo Rivers GalleryTracing Lines : Art Talk - websiteIntro & Outro Music:Pamgaea by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4193-pamgaeaLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
