Glacial Narratives: Cracks in the Ice is an innovative and experimental multi-artform exhibition about ice from four artists who have spent considerable time in Arctic environments, and have developed a complementary series of artworks inspired by their experiences. They trust that these works will not only raise awareness of the wonder of ice as a material, but will also ask questions about its disappearance.
The artists involved are:
Adam Sebire (https://www.adamsebire.info)
Elizabeth Bourne (https://www.philotera.com/about/)
Martin Disley (https://martindisley.co.uk)
Mary Walters (https://www.mary-walters.com)
Glacial Narratives: A Report from the Arctic was exhibited in Taigh Chearsabhagh Trust’s gallery spaces in North Uist during October 20 – January 21, as a major contribution to the aims of COP 26 in Glasgow. it was funded by Taigh Chearsabhagh Trust and Creative Scotland, with additional support from Edinburgh University School of GeoSciences and the University of Norway in Svalbard. It was very well received, attended in person by approx. 2,500 visitors, and online for a zoom event by participants from all over the world.
