LINDBLAD Expeditions and National Geographic Expeditions have revealed details of a new permanent art exhibition called “Change”, which is now aboard its polar newbuild National Geographic Endurance.
Curated by renowned climate change artist Zaria Forman, the ship-based polar art installation incorporates a range of artistic mediums including drawings, paintings, videos, photography, and sculptures from 35 artists.
“Zaria was challenged to mount the definitive polar exhibition aboard our polar ship, and her curation has, I believe, led to one of the finest collections of art examining the power and vulnerability of these rarefied geographies anywhere in the world,” said Sven Lindblad, CEO of Lindblad Expeditions.
Commenting upon the new exhibition, Forman observed that “every piece of art is proof of the profound impact this environment can have on an individual… hopefully it will guide them down the path closest to my heart — to be so moved by the landscapes that lay in front them, they will want to protect and preserve them”.
