Join visiting Norwegian-Canadian visual artist Tanya Busse who will share her research into landscapes where exploitation and speculation take place and discuss possible geo-healing therapies for their future. Busse will be joined in conversation by Quandamooka artist and curator Megan Cope, whose work will be in upcoming exhibition Haunt at the IMA.

Busse and Cope will discuss their respective practices and relationships with place, mining and activism, drawing parallels and contrasts between the materiality and spatial contexts of their work. Busse’s practice investigates how power is articulated through material relationships and histories of place. Most of her recent work is set in the high North of Norway where she resides, and explores how arctic ecology coexists with unveiled globalisation, the mineral extractive industry, and militarised and post-military spaces.

Fireweed tea will be served.
