Schuppli left us with the question: What new ways of remembering can emerge through the study of ice memory? She urged us to consider a future of “just-ice to come” (a play on justice and ice 🤓).

Building on themes from the series (film heritage and audiovisual archives), this session explored how ice memory challenges us to think beyond human-centered perspectives. As glaciers disappear, we not only lose parts of our environment but also the memories they hold.

Schuppli’s talk highlighted the links between environmental history, film preservation, and geopolitical structures. She discussed how ice, as a chemically neutral storage medium like film, can store historical traces — including those of (neo)colonial violence, pollution, and climate catastrophe.
