DESCRIPTION:Louise Beer\, IoA Artist in Residence\, will share a presentat
 ion that considers the philosophical impacts of dark skies\, and how havin
 g access to them can help us to understand better loss and grief\, our ind
 ividual connection to the deep time history of Earth and the Universe\, an
 d the cosmic significance of the climate crisis. Louise will share her 202
 4 British Council-funded project\, Earth\, a Cosmic Spectacle which was de
 veloped in collaboration with astronomer Dr Ian Griffin and Tūhura Otago 
 Museum in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this project\, the artist invited astro
 nomers\, biologists\, and geologists to gaze into the dark skies of New Ze
 aland and anonymously write a letter exploring how their knowledge of Eart
 h's long and gradual development\, starting from the dawn of the Universe\
 , shapes their understanding of the cosmic significance of the climate cri
 sis.
