Sasha Huber made work prompted by the cultural and political activist campaign Demounting Louis Agassiz. Founded in 2007 by Swiss historian Hans Fässler, the campaign seeks to redress the legacy of the Swiss-born naturalist and glaciologist Louis Agassiz (1807–1873). As a member of the Demounting Committee, for her part, Huber has staged numerous interventions at terrestrial and extraterrestrial sites that bear his name, of which there are eighty in total. She uses performance, photography, and film, among other media, to investigate colonial residues left in the environment. As part of the exhibition, Huber sets out to un-name the Agassiz Ice Cap on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut which is one of the largest in Canada.
