On Saturday, March 7 at 1:00 pm, photographer Michael Cox joins UBC Geology graduate student Sam Shekut in the museum auditorium for a conversation on erosion, biodiversity, the forces that change the landscape and how artists and scientists can document and understand these processes.
In the exhibition Slippage: Shaped by Time, Cox captures the slow and powerful forces of erosion and change through striking black-and-white photographs of local landscapes. From wildfire-charred trees to moss-covered boulders, the images trace how geology and climate change intersect at once destroying and rebuilding biodiversity, and reshaping environments we think we know. Together, Cox and Shekut will explore how deep time, environmental change, and visual storytelling come together in the landscapes around us.
