Description
Modern-day humans and their ancestors have only ever lived within icehouse Earth environs. As inhabitants who evolved within the Quaternary ice age with its alternations of glacial and interglacial periods, human habitability and survivorship on the planet has been intrinsically linked with the presence of ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, and permafrost. With the tipping of seven of nine planetary boundaries, Earth’s icehouse veers towards a premature entry into a greenhouse period—untested for human species as a climate much hotter than any human has ever lived within.Glacial Relations invites a consideration of humans as entwined with the cryosphere. From exploring a glacial vocabulary to nominating the glacier Snæfellsjökull for the Icelandic presidency, artistic interventions provoke a shift in the ways humans relate to icehouse Earth. Utilising artistic practice-as-research, Dr. angela Snæfellsjökuls rawlings will share a selection of their creative processes and outputs which explores how to að jökla (become-with glacier).
