Through a public talk and installation, ‘Foram’ presents research from Burns’s artistic residency on board the Celtic Explorer research cruise CE23011. This expedition, led by chief scientist and collaborator Dr. Audrey Morley from the University of Galway and iCRAG, ventured to one of the most remote regions on Earth in July 2023. Here, amidst the icy expanses of the Arctic Ocean and the Greenland coast, the research team studied Forams— small yet significant organisms that can help us unravel the mysteries of our planet’s past, and perhaps, safeguard its future.
