About the Exhibit

Transitional Impressions: Visualizing Environmental Change is an exhibition that explores the role visual art/printmaking can play in building understanding around the complex issues raised by environmental degradation and climate change.

Many of the complex questions raised in current environmental discourse can be difficult to capture in scientific data or everyday language. The sense of anxiety, loss and uncertainty, as well as feelings of hope for positive change, need to be articulated through creative research alongside other modes of research in order to create a fuller picture of what environmental change means to Canadian society.

Organized by University of Calgary Assistant Professor Heather Leier and University of Alberta Professor Sean Caulfield, Transitional Impressions: Visualizing Environmental Change engages with these issues, with a particular focus on what printmaking can bring to these discussions.
