Glaciers tell us of the past and the present, archiving histories of climate and revealing our impending climate futures. Join us on 9 October for a talk by Cymene Howe, presented in the context of the exhibition Oscillating Spaces, in which she describes how we can recognize the work that glaciers do to mark time and history. She will discuss a handful of her collaborative initiatives to memorialize glaciers in Iceland and around the world through acts of ritual and gathering. Through this process, Howe believes glaciers also help to teach us about life and death in the Anthropocene. 

This event is free of charge, but space is limited, so registration is required.

Cymene Howe is a professor of anthropology and co-founder of the Science and Technology Studies Program at Rice University. Her research and creative works are about people, ecosystems, and geohuman relations.
