Acclaimed Toronto-based photographer and visual artist Neil Ever Osborne presented a new body of work from Antarctica. For the first time, the artist documents the frozen tapestry of the icebergs — nature’s majestic cathedrals — revealing the essence of the southernmost continent in every crevice and chasm. Through his lens, we witness Antarctica’s stark beauty and vulnerability.

In search of the world’s smallest monkey — A journey into Ecuador’s remote forests to spy on adorable, and surprisingly chatty, pygmy marmosets

Excerpt

The world’s smallest monkey is called the pygmy marmoset, and it is, predictably, very tiny, just a little scoop of fur. It likes to eat the sticky resin found in tree bark, known as gum, and is therefore called a gummivore. Captured pygmy marmosets can cling onto the finger of a person the way a koala might hang on a tree. I had never seen one before, and the notion of a wee, gum-eating monkey seemed far-fetched. Even improbable life finds its way, though, and pygmy marmosets have developed an elaborate survival system based on talking to each other constantly. They are unusually cooperative.

Climate change resists narrative—and yet some account of what’s happening is needed.
~ Elizabeth Kolbert

Stories are the way people make sense of the world. And we have reached a moment in history when there are innumerable stories to tell about climate change and its impact on people and the planet.

Yet, we need more storytellers.

Leveraging Trent’s academic and research strengths in arts-based and environmental education, this new program offering in Climate Communication blends courses across disciplines to teach you a new storytelling approach that examines how to better understand media’s effect on audiences’ morals, values, and behaviours.

Equipped with this knowledge, this new offering at Trent University aims to use more effective climate change communications and visual storytelling to foster a more sustainable and equitable world where our collective well-being is at the heart.
