The Visualising Climate Crisis
The Climate Crisis is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. A delicate balance has been tipped over, unleashing a series of chain consequences the scale of which we are yet to grasp. As we witness the intensification of the crisis, we must come to terms with the fact that the complexity of the matter underscores a very simple fact: change is the only way forward. Acceptance, adaptation and mitigation are our only chances to thrive in an uncertain future. Guided by award winning visual storytellers Kadir van Lohuizen (The Netherlands) and Esther Horvath (Hungary), the eleven authors from V4 worked on stories close to their home in Europe, where we often are unable to see as mainstream media feeds us news from faraway places, so distant from us that the magnitude of the catastrophes become mere abstract notions. Reality however, paints a very different picture: the climate crisis is here, right at our front door, and with it entire ecosystems mutate, migrate, go extinct and the chain of life they support changes irrevocably, often driven to the brink of collapse. “The Visualising Climate Crisis” mentoring programme is organized by the NOOR Foundation and Slovak Press Photo, with the support of the Embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, and the Czech Photo, Polish Press Agency, and the Herald Europe organizations.The exhibition was organized thanks to the financial support of the Visegrad Fund.
