Canaries in the Coalmine by Barbara Wildenboer. ‘Solastalgia’ is the premise for the exhibition, coined by environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2004 by combining the Latin word solacium (comfort) and the Greek word algae (pain). It is used to describe the emotional distress experienced when one realises that one’s home environment is under threat or changing; a form of homesickness one gets while one is still at home. barbarawildenboer.yolasite.com
