At the Moraine
At the Moraine is multi-year, collaborative research project that studies the perception, mediation and representation of global climate change. The project is especially attuned to the ways that climate science has become a politically-charged domain of inquiry that includes practices of inhabiting, sampling, picturing and coexisting with geological phenomena such as melting glacier ice, geological sediment, and rare earth minerals.
A moraine is an accumulation of geological debris shaped and deposited by glaciers as they recede. We explore how the Greenland Ice Sheet, the Icefjord and its moraine conjoin a global network of Greenlandic knowledge and culture, climate science, contemporary artistic practices, and theories of political ecology, in the world’s largest Indigenous sovereign territory.
