Part of Finucane's globally acclaimed Art vs Extinction Suite.
Stitching live museum exhibition to immersive theatre and a mass-mortality event. Exploring grief, loss, isolation, stark beauty, deep time, ice melting and hope – all at epic scale.
Inviting humans into an imagined-Antarctica, the only place on earth with no permanent human habitation, to imagine a future together.
A sneak peek into the work was live streamed on Saturday 5 September 2020.
A recording of this Showing is available to stream on demand via the Take Over! playlist on Youtube. Available for a strictly limited time, until Thursday 22 October.

With a background in environmental science, conservation and gender violence, Finucane began hijacking burlesque and archetype in underground clubs, and has evolved worldwide, with presentations across 16 countries, Antarctica to Tibetan Plateau, and 15 awards including Presentation of the Year (Cuba), 8 Green Rooms & Miami's Climakaze Climate/Art Award.
