Glacier Conversations: Under The Night Sky with Artist-In-Residence Imma Barrera
February 9, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Details: The Under The Night Sky presentation will highlight Imma’s current project to raise awareness about the importance of nature conservation efforts, in particular, protecting the night sky from light pollution. Preserving the night environment helps support human health and heritage and preserve wildlife habitats. Night photography offers a chance to capture and document scenes that few people ever see nowadays due to artificial light and airglow pollution.
The work presented here will focus on a selection of night images captured at several areas of the National Park System, including Glacier, Capitol Reef and Acadia Artist-in-Residence programs, and will be part of the soon to be published Under The Night Sky book.
