It is a participatory drop-in workshop open 11am-4pm on Thursday 8th. Participation requires at least 10-15 minutes if you’re flying between events – or you’re welcome to spend much longer than that. The workshop’s organisation draws from links between oil and financial forecasting, and other future-telling practices – in this case, tarot cards. It invites participants to play with ideas of currency, present action and future speculation, what is known and unknown, hope and desire set alongside material, process and mechanism, scales of time and effect. Addressing themes of the conference, the event explores ‘visions of and expectations for the future’, ‘relations of obligation and indebtedness’, and considers the question ‘When should we prioritise investing in the distant future rather than focussing on the present?’. The outcomes you will be co-creating include a collective poem and collective tarot readings, which will be documented and shared by CEE and CPI after the conference. | |

18.30 | Byre Theatre The Song of Ice – booking required* A new collaborative project that combines music, science, sound, animation and images to tell the story of the life of the Antarctic ice sheet. Stunning new music, leading-edge science, animation and imagery from Steve’s Antarctic field seasons blended in collaboration with BAS Antarctic scientists to tell the story of the Antarctic ice sheet in three parts: Isolate: the last 180 million years – other continents move away, the continent becoming isolated and the ice sheet forming Grow: the last 30 million years — the ice sheet forms and moves, accompanied by the haunting sounds of icequakes Breathe: the last 0.8 million years — the rise and fall of C02 in ice cores converted to sound and music, with a final higher note reflecting recent conditions This solo performance includes an introductory talk and Q&A session helping you to engage in the performance and material and will be followed by a reception at the Byre Theatre. |
* The Song of Ice tickets can be booked through the event registration. If you would like tickets and have already registered for the conference, please email [email protected]
