Can art and science together help us notice the species disappearing around us, often without anyone noticing? This talk brings together artist Signe Klejs and biologist Morten DD Hansen to discuss the exhibition afterglow, which takes its starting point in the idea that what is lost is only truly possessed once it is gone.
Klejs talks about her work portraying 24 overlooked species in sand, while Hansen focuses on the species we are losing and what their disappearance means for nature. Museum director and biologist Bo Skaarup joins the conversation, exploring how artistic images, scientific knowledge and emotion can complement one another when we try to understand the biodiversity crisis, and what it takes to turn knowledge into action.
