Join us on 24 April for the opening of Oscillating Spaces, an exhibition presenting multiple facets of the natural and cultural history of the Rhône Glacier. By juxtaposing various archival and contemporary works, the exhibition reflects on the environmental challenges linked to melting glaciers and their consequences for natural and built environments.

At 6pm in the Paul-Desmarais Theatre, the exhibition’s curator Anneke Abhelakh will introduce her curatorial approach and outline the stories that intersect to form the exhibition.

The gallery will be open at 5pm, and the evening will conclude with a celebration in the Shaughnessy House from 7pm to 9pm.

This event is free and open to the public, no reservation required.
