The Polar Bears of Perth

‘The Polar Bears of Perth’ is a free educational resource made by researchers at The Open University in 2024. Thanks to Doug Allan, to Culture Perth & Kinross, and to the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.
The video was created as part of the Open University’s Art and Ecology project, founded by Dr Carla Benzan and Dr Samuel Shaw. Art and Ecology aims to change public understanding of today's ecological crisis through the art and visual cultures of the past. The project reconnects art and science, moving towards curiosity and active engagement as part of a more meaningful and sustainable solution. The film was directed by Libby Penman and filmed by Libby Penman and Mickey Sneedon at the Perth Museum & Art Gallery and the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.
