CLIMATE CITYLIFE Lightbox Exhibition Celebration & Public Talk 5.30pm Wednesday, September 2nd
Nightcliff Foreshore
We had to cancel the offical opening of the CLIMATE Citylife Lightbox Exhibition in April due to COVID restrictions, but now we are very excited to celebrate this wonderful exhibition together this September!
Join Darwin Visual Arts and the City of Darwin
to view three of the lightbox pieces on display and hear from Dr Kristin Metcalfe, CDU Fellow and Environmental Scientist, as she speaks on the carbon sequestration services that Darwin's mangroves perform.
Join us on the Nightcliff Foreshore (east of the Nightcliff Pool), at 5.30pm sharp for this free public talk.
There will be time to ask questions of Dr Metcalfe afterwards and to meet some of the artists involved in the lightbox exhibition.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE via the Facebook event
for catering purposes and so we can allow for adequate social distancing measure to be in place.
