Wonder and crisis collide in We Are Exploding — an exhibition by Emily Parsons-Lord in partnership with Abbotsford Convent.
We Are Exploding examines air as a site of collapse. Across two major installations, Things Fall Apart and Trembling, the exhibition uses materials of and in the air: carbon from pollution, lead shot, meteorites, plant distress pheromone. Suspended, dilute, and thunderous, these materials of the climate crisis speak to both the invisibility and the spectacle of collapse, and the confluence of personal and environmental catastrophe.Join us for a Convent curated experience of the exhibition and surrounding environment.
