Drift exhibition tour
October 27, 2021

On October 25, the Ars Scientia group attended a tour of Drift: Art and Dark Matter at the Belkin with TRIUMF Director Nigel Smith. Led by Academic Programs Assistant Jessica Law, the group discussed the history of SNOLAB, traces of memory, and materiality as they appear in scientific discourse as well as artistic interpretation. 

This exhibition tour and collaboration with TRIUMF was in support of Dark Matter Day, an international event celebrating the historic hunt for dark matter through public discussions hosted annually by institutions and individuals worldwide. Join Ars Scientia, with the support of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute, and UBC's Department of Physics and Astronomy, at the H.R. MacMillan Space Center for a special Dark Matter Day lecture/live-stream on October 30.
