DRIFT: Art and Dark Matter Public Book Launch

Join us for the book launch of Drift: Art and Dark Matter on Monday, Nov. 18, at the Central Branch.

In 2021, artists Anne Riley, Nadia Lichtig, Josefa Ntjam and Jol Thoms visited Queen’s University and SNOLAB to meet with scientists working in astroparticle physics and created artwork inspired by the experience. Last year, the artists, organizers, and guests contributed to co-author DRIFT: Art and Dark Matter. The 182-page, full-colour book is both a catalogue of the exhibition artworks and a further dialogue about the project and its layers of insight into art, science and the research ecosystem.

This free, in-person event features short talks from several of the book’s co-authors; Nobel Laureate and Professor Emeritus Dr. Art McDonald, Director of the Agnes, Emelie Chhangur, Agnes Curator and book editor Sunny Kerr and program coordinator Zac Kenny. Artists Anne Riley, Jol Thoms and Nadia Lichtig will join remotely. Copies of the book will be available for sale, and a few will even be given away! Light refreshments will be provided.
