  • Expedition Alert: Bringing the Polar Desert to the Bay of Quinte

    100 College St. West, Belleville 100 College St. West, Belleville

    Stacey Kerr is the Exhibit and Programs Coordinator for the Quinte Museum of Natural History, where she has been working for the last year to develop the upcoming feature exhibit “Expedition Alert: Stories from the High Arctic”. This exhibit will showcase the biodiversity that lives around Alert, Nunavut, the northernmost continuously inhabited place on Earth. Stacey is using her experience in environmental storytelling to create an exhibit that invites visitors to explore the unique and sometimes alien world of the Polar Desert through a series of interactive displays showcasing research by scientists from the University of Quebec at Rimouski. Inuit traditional knowledge, or Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, will connect visitors to the land and the lived experience of climate change through key elements of the exhibit, a reminder that multiple worldviews are critical to understanding our world. This presentation for the Quinte Field Naturalists will provide a sneak peek of a few key stories that will be included in Expedition Alert, including tales of impressive migration, fascinating adaptations, and ultimately resilience in the face of mounting climate change. Stacey will also share some of the challenges and learning experiences of creating an Arctic exhibit for an audience “down South”, as well as some exciting new technology-based museum elements that will help bring the exhibit to life in a whole new way for an intergenerational audience.
