MELTDOWN – a visualization of climate change by Project Pressure

Horniman Museum & Gardens
Forest Hill, London

MELTDOWN: Visualizing Climate Change by Project Pressure emphasises the importance of glaciers in a scientific, illustrative and dramatic way. The show features work from every relevant continent, leading the viewer on a journey in three chapters - The Importance of Glaciers, Current Issues and Meltdown Consequences.

Since 2008 the climate change charity Project Pressure has been commissioning world-renowned artists to conduct expeditions to document changes to the world’s vanishing glaciers, the consequences for billions of people, and efforts made to limit melting.

The works featured from these expeditions range in scale from the planetary level to microscopic biological impact, with artistic interpretations giving unique insights into the world’s cryosphere, its fragile ecosystem and our changing global climate.
