Roar for climate and glaciers
In May, you can roar in the power of our people at the Glacier Museum in Fjærland.
The Climate Roar is about to create the longest celebration for climate and nature in Norwegian history. Throughout May you can experience and contribute to the roar with us. Here, the artwork Brølofonen is on display.
Magnar and Delphine, who work at the Norwegian Glacier Museum, advocate for the climate - and the glaciers.
Fjærland and the areas near Jostedalsbreen have long been known for their steep glaciers that rumble, crash and roar, while the ice is in constant motion. The roar of the glaciers has subsided in modern times, they are shrinking and making less noise. This is what we want to focus on! With a roar for the climate, we may be able to help the glaciers return to their glorious days. Come and roar at the Norwegian Glacier Museum!
It will roar continuously for four years - throughout an entire parliamentary term - to gather and visualize broad public engagement on climate and nature issues. Right now you can experience the roar here in Fjærland, as part of the Norway Tour.
“We who roar do not necessarily have the same answer to what should be prioritized in the climate and nature fight. But by raising our voices together, we put the issue at the top of the agenda. By roaring, we cheer on brave politicians and businesses who are working to turn the tide. By voting in the roar, we create community and give each other the courage to make lifestyle changes,” says Lene Bonesmo Solberg, chairwoman of the Klimabrølet Association.
“It is quite demanding to roar continuously for four years. That is why we have built the Brølofonen. In this interactive artwork, where Røyksopp, among others, has contributed music, you can both experience the effect of roaring on the body, and contribute to unity and power in the climate fight. Record your own roar - whether it is a cheering roar, a thunderclap or a roar expressed through sign language. The sum of motivations and expressions shows the breadth of popular commitment to the most important cause of all time.”
We at the Norwegian Glacier Museum are proud to contribute to carrying the roar across the country. It is important that we keep the climate debate alive. If you can't make the trip, we encourage you to upload your roar to Klimabrølet . Then your roar will be played back through the Brølofonen, and you will become part of the longest roar of all time, for the most important cause of our time.
