VULNERABLE – PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
As one of the lowest-lying countries in the world, Maldives is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The proliferation of images in today’s internet age is such that Maldives is known the world over as a stunning holiday destination. While Maldives has been the subject of many documentaries and news articles regarding climate change, to date no documentary has been produced by Maldivians for an international audience. This is a chance for Maldives to show vulnerability to the world as seen through our eyes.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Bluepeace — Maldives’ first environmental NGO — and to showcase the documentary talent of Maldivian artists, Bluepeace and the Maldives Photographers Association are calling upon Maldivian photographers to engage in a photo exhibition, Vulnerable.
The exhibition will be hosted in December in Copenhagen by Kilmaforum09, an alternative climate summit with representation from civil society organisations, environmental movements and grassroots activists from serveral countries. Klimaforum09 will take place at the time of COP15 conference in Copenhagen.
