The Polar Project: An Environment-Based Art Installation of Antarctica and the Arctic by Erika Blumenfeld

The Polar Project will join the environmental movement worldwide and become a conduit for people to learn about the global and local issues of climate change. Each visitor will be affected by the exhibition in different ways. The unique and individual response of viewers, combined with the mounting call to action to contend with climate change, makes the project’s potential impact nonlinear. It is believed that the project will become a comprehensive and extensive educational system which, through the profound power of art, will generate the desire for connection and participation. To extend the museum exhibition, Blumenfeld will provide opportunities for visitors to take their experience back to their homes, jobs, and schools, and to make positive contributions to the environmental movement in their own communities as well as internationally.
