“A series of art and science talks at the British Library this autumn uncovers how scientists, geographers, artists and ordinary people around the world know our planet is changing, how we got here, and what we might do about it. Ancient ice and the latest computer models, Arctic light, bird migrations and Inuit hunting practices all tell us something about climate change. These talks and a symposium investigate ways in which to interpret what scientists are doing, and share the unique perspectives of artists on events which, though they may seem far away, affect us all.”
