High places––mountains and the Arctic––are home to some of the planet’s most distinctive cultures\, unique ecosystems \, and compelling landscapes\; they are also among the most environmentally sensitive areas on the planet. In this exhibition\, environmental change r esearcher Graham McDowell drew together photographs from his work in high p laces (e.g. Greenland\, the Himalayas\, and the Canadian Arctic) to help gr ound-truth our understanding of the Anthropocene\, a new period in Earth’s history. His photographs revealed the multitude of ways in which places\, p eople\, and ecosystems in high mountains and the Arctic experience and resp ond to environmental change\, drawing attention to the tension between prof ound change and often underappreciated occurrences of socio-ecological cont inuity.
