This showcased event has concluded.
Are you a museum professional looking to connect with others in the industry and share your ideas for energising and future proofing the sector? SPARK is an initiative from M&GNSW to bring together the next generation of cultural leaders.
The July event will feature a curated evening of provocative talks tackling the theme Taking up the Challenge: Culture in the face of climate change.
Whether it be as knowledge holders, educational organisations, voices for community, role models or rallying hubs in times of trauma, museums, galleries and Aboriginal keeping places all have a role to play as we face ever greater environmental challenges and natural disasters.
There are some amazing ideas, initiatives and a lot of passion out there! Join us for an evening of sharing, discussion and connection.
The evening will feature the NSW premier of a recent video installation work by artist, Adam Sébire.
anthropoScene IV : Adrift (∆Asea-ice) (2019)
The calculus of one's own contribution to a warming climate.
Citizens of developed countries are increasingly aware of correlations between our lifestyles and the climate crisis: witness the phenomenon of flygskam or 'flying shame'. Borrowing a groundbreaking scientific formula* the filmmaker-artist calculates and saws off the exact amount of Arctic sea-ice (15.69m²) that will be destroyed by his carbon emissions flying economy return, from Sydney to Greenland, to film it (5.23 tonnes of CO₂e).
Speakers:
Adam Sébire
Adam studied documentary filmmaking at Australia's AFTRS & Cuba's EICTV before before making films for the Australian public broadcasters SBS & ABC. Since filming on the Pacific nation of Tuvalu for Film Australia in 2003 his work has focused on climate change, particularly sea level rise.
