Documentary screening "State of Change"
On November 19th, we hosted another event in collaboration with The Nordic House, dedicated to raising awareness about climate change and the fragile beauty of our planet.
We watched In a "State of Change", a documentary by Donal Boyd and Frank Nieuwenhuis. This personal story takes us through Iceland’s evolving landscape, exploring the retreat of its glaciers through the lens of a photographer grappling with his role in communicating the urgency of climate change. The film featured interviews with scientists, locals, and guides who shared their perspectives on the disappearing glaciers and their far-reaching effects.
Our guest, Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, a professor from the University of Iceland, delivered an insightful and inspiring presentation on Glaciers in Iceland: Changes in the Recent Past and Projected Future. In her talk she shared the following resources like:
Extreme Ice Survey Icelandis highly recommended for those eager to explore the data further.
The event ended with a panel discussion featuring Guðfinna, Donal, and Frank, where they delved deeper into the intersection of science, art, and storytelling in addressing the climate crisis.
