Opening Celebration: Weather and the Whale at the IAS (Santa Cruz)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us to celebrate the opening of the major new art and science exhibition Weather and the Whale, the culmination of a two-year collaboration between the Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Friedlaender Lab at UC Santa Cruz.

Combining art and science to deepen understanding about climate change and perhaps spur collective action, Weather and the Whale features immersive displays of data and research and newly commissioned artworks delving into the human and non human experiences of living in times of crisis.

Visitors will be able to explore original research about the impacts on whales and other large marine mammals of environmental toxins, sea ice retreat, and other threats, including what is happening in Monterey Bay. Video installations, sculptures, photography, and other artworks will provide novel and experiential ways of seeing and understanding the rapidly changing world.

Refreshments will be provided.
