About the speakers
Rowan Huntley, MA is the artist behind the upcoming special exhibition at the Polar Museum, Through Ice and Fire. This talk will give a behind the scenes look at Rowan's artistic processes and the science of creation. The artwork in Through Ice and Fire explores the scientific work of Dr Joanne Johnson and echoes Rowan's deep emotional connection with the natural world.
To celebrate Carbon Literacy Action Day, Molly Stock-Duerdoth, Learning Host and participatory researcher will look at how sustainability and care link objects, people, and the planet. Inspired by the connection between museum practice and the climate emergency, we will discuss histories of care and repair at Kettle’s Yard through its work with collections and communities.
Explore the Polar Museum with one of the experts! Staff from the museum will offer a brief history of the Scott Polar Research Institute and take you on a mini tour of some of their favourite objects in the collection.
