OFFICIAL OPENING: ‘Facing the Heat in South Africa’ Photography Exhibition and Book Launch

OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE ‘FACING THE HEAT IN SOUTH AFRICA’ PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION AND BOOK LAUNCH. Through ten years of photographic documentation, this exhibition and book bring into focus unfolding climate shocks, injustice and resistance post a 1 °C overshoot at the global level. The photographic medium echoes the warnings of climate science but also amplifies the case for climate justice solutions to secure a livable, just and democratic future for all. The launch featured a panel discussion with Professor Vishwas Satgar, moderated by Mandla Nkomfe (Deputy Chairperson, Ahmed Kathrada Foundation), alongside the discussants Prof. Francois Engelbrecht (Climatologist, Wits) and Jessica Ngwenya (Lead Campaigner, Climate Justice Charter Movement). It was followed by a dialogue and a tour of the exhibition.
