On Monday, October 14, 2024, the photo exhibition ‘Climate No Future’ closed its doors. More than 200 interested residents, activists, and scientists visited the Pop-Up Art Space at Grindelallee to get a glimpse of climate activists’ future visions and visual language. IFSH researcher Dr. Delf Rothe designed the exhibition in collaboration with Dr. David Shim from the University of Groningen and the agency Non-Fiction Photo as part of their binational research project SECIMA. They aimed to make the urgent issues of the climate crisis visible through the perspectives of leading climate movements, while also stimulating discussions about possible solutions.
The exhibition was accompanied by a diverse side program. The opening event on October 4 provided an opportunity to talk to the exhibition organizers and participating activists. Another highlight was the public panel discussion “Climate no Future? Zukunftsbilder und politisches Handeln in der Klimakrise” on October 7. Moderated by Prof. Dr. Ursula. Schröder, experts from science, culture, and climate activism discussed perspectives and strategies in times of climate change and an ever-changing landscape of images.
