Craig Hadley

Join Craig Hadley (Peeler Galleries), Miriam Kienle (Art History), and Deepa Prakash (Political Science) for a discussion about the politics and art of global borders, boundaries, and citizenship in the 21st century. Participants will receive their own limited edition Antarctica passports created by artists Lucy+Jorge Orta The Antarctic Treaty, signed in 1959 by twelve countries, instituted the continent as common territory. The Madrid Protocol, ratified in 1991, has frozen mining until 2048 and banned industrial research or exploitation for fifty years. Military activity is similarly prohibited. Since then, Antarctica has become a land of peace, science and international cooperation. But for how long? Contemporary artists Lucy + Jorge Orta mobilize the citizens of the world to protect the Antarctic and its unique status and to take action against global warming and for peace. The Antarctica World Passport will enable citizens of the world to act on a global scale.
