Overview

Join us in a public panel discussion on Thursday 20 April, where Oliver Ressler will be in conversation with artist and activist Noel Douglas, Dr Antigoni Memou, Art Historian and Senior Lecturer at the University of East London; and curator and writer Lena Reisner.

The public programme accompanying the exhibition aims to connect with key London-based voices including those active in the climate movement; as well as with activist networks contributing to public demonstrations in the city over the duration of the exhibition, and with local constituents in The Showroom neighbourhood.

Barricading the Ice Sheets is an exhibition by artist Oliver Ressler in the context of his eponymous research project focused on the climate justice movements. The exhibition incorporates a selection of new and existing works in a contextually calibrated presentation of the wider research that constitutes Barricading the Ice Sheets. For Ressler this research materialises as films, photographic works, a conference and publications which have been unfolding through an iterative, international cycle of exhibitions throughout 2021-23.
