FAIR WEATHER: Equality, Community, and Climate Change
Opening September 7
Presented by students, graduates, and instructors from Portage College and the University of Alberta, as well as special guest artists from India and around the world, this exhibition explores climate-focused themes of fair weather, climate change, and climate justice. Images from Climate Visuals, a project by Climate Outreach (a UK-based organization that collects and disseminates climate research), help to tell a global story on climate change.
Organized by Portage College and curated by Pierre Oberg.

The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.
