Zaria Forman’s remarkable pastel drawing ‘Lincoln Sea’ is on loan to Selwyn College for the next year and displayed in the Harrison Room. To celebrate this exhibit, we invited Zaria to give an illustrated talk about her work and her mission to document climate change through hyperrealistic and beautiful artworks. • Zaria Forman began this project in 2016 when she was invited to join NASA’s Operation IceBridge, an ongoing airborne science mission that has been mapping changes in the ice over both polar regions for over a decade. The data collected is critical in helping us understand how climate change is affecting our planet. She channelled her experience into a series of pastel drawings, depicting the vast polar landscapes as seen from above—Lincoln Sea, completed in 2019, is one of these. • The webinar was hosted by Selwyn fellow Professor Lynn Dicks, a conservation scientist and board member of Natural England. • You can see the painting in situ at Selwyn College through this webpage: https://www.sel.cam.ac.uk/news/climat.... • The thumbnail image consists of a photo of Zaria Forman's painting 'Lincoln Sea', with a portrait photograph of Zaria Forman by Audra Rhodes.
