Cape Sable Historical Society member Julie Smith reads one of the panels in the climate change exhibit at the Barrington Museum Complex. KATHY JOHNSON - Kathy JohnsonBARRINGTON, N.S. — It was her time as director of Shelburne’s Museums by the Sea that inspired PhD student Shauna Allen to develop an exhibition related to climate change and its impacts on Nova Scotia’s south shore.
The climate change exhibit, completed this summer, was a practical case study as part of Allen’s PhD. The second component is arts' activism. Working with Scotian Shores, a beach clean-up was conducted and art – ‘the equivalent of campaign posters' – was created by children and other community members from some of the garbage collected.
Mi'kmaki artist Madisyn Snow was commissioned to do an art installment for the climate change exhibit. Snow created two digital art pieces. One depicts a sea turtle caught a plastic bag and garbage in the sea and the other is an eagle with oil dripping from its feathers in flight over a fire and oil derricks.

Executive director of the Barrington Museum Complex, Sam Brannen, says being part of the climate change project and the exhibit was “an opportunity for us to be able to feature relevant climate change impact for our the area."
