Kingston, Ontario – The Studio Gallery at Queen’s Faculty of Education is thrilled to announce its latest exhibition, “Change with the Earth in Mind,” an innovative arts-based research installation that promises to captivate and inspire audiences.
This is the inaugural show of the Creative Expression of Research project which seeks to pair artists with researchers and create art based on the research.
‘Change with the Earth in Mind’ brings together artistic expressions of research inspired by the world of the Social Studies and History Education in the Anthropocene Network (SSHEAN), led by Dr. Heather E. McGregor. The SSHEAN research group worked with artist-researcher-educator, Dr. Tiina Kukkonen, to envision how visual artworks and artmaking might contribute to climate change education research, pedagogy, and knowledge translation.
The exhibition invites visitors to delve into the intersection of artistic expression and environmental consciousness, shedding light on the critical issue of climate change through a creative lens.
This exhibition is made possible through funding provided by the Faculty of Education (Office of the Dean - Research and Strategic Initiatives and the Community Initiatives Fund) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
