Glacier Elegy

#Performance #ArtistTalk 

In the performance Glacier Elegy, artist Jaanika Peerna confronts the climate crisis—particularly the loss of glaciers. Peerna uses ice as a totemic representation of strength, beauty, and ecological fragility. The performance incorporates drawing, movement, and installation, emerging from the rhythms and gestures of the body.

As an Artist in Residence at Villa Arnica, Peerna explores the garden and its essential foundation—the public resource of water. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.), the Zuccaire Gallery (Stony Brook University, NY), Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT), and the Espronceda Center for Art and Culture (Barcelona, Spain).
