The opening for this exhibition is happening on May 10, 2025 at 3 pm, at Taragaon Next.
As glaciers shrink, glacial lakes are formed, which can burst and trigger devastating floods. Further consequences include landslides, disrupted ecosystems, and a threat to communities that rely on glacial meltwater as a key source of clean water for the region.
These alarming transformations serve as a backdrop to the central focus of the artwork—glaciers seemingly suspended in a liminal time-space, a delicate balance between their final melting and the then moment. Through two distinct but connected artworks, the exhibition highlights our current climate situation and explores the profound relationship between climate change and glaciers. The presented artworks encourage us to think about the delicate state of our natural environment and the critical necessity for mitigating actions in the event of a looming/imminent ecological disaster. Their size, fragmented presentation and imperfections in the making reflect a melancholic apathy juxtaposed with urgency.
