A first-time collaboration between Philadelphia artists who have traveled the world with scientists monitoring the shrinking ice, the exhibit features Diane Burko’s large-scale photographs and Paula Winokur’s white porcelain sculptures. ArtSCAPES, or Art in Science, Climate and Adaptation: Picturing Environments and Sustainability, includes film screenings, panel discussions, a Power Dialog and lectures by artists and scientists exploring natural resources, hydrology of the planet and atmosphere, sustainability and human rights and responsibilities for addressing critical environmental issues that affect our planet and our lives.
