Public Talk with Nina Elder: Quantum Curiosity
July 29, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT

Artist Nina Elder travels to some of the most environmentally impacted, geographically distant, and economically important places on the globe where she researches how the natural environment is changing through human-centered activities. This performative lecture weaves together unlikely associations between piles of rocks, military secrets, glaciers, obsolete communication technology, meteorites, frayed ropes, and the need for curiosity.
