[Exhibition] Pictures Of A Changing Climate, WA Museum, 30 March to 29 April

Pictures of a Changing Climate connects our actions with the livelihoods of others in distant places through four photographic displays. Each display demonstrates climate change from a global to a local perspective with award-winning professional and amateur images.

Included in the exhibition is NorthSouthEastWest, an international photographic display from Magnum Photos, coordinated by The Climate Group and The British Council. This section contains 22 images with text and comments by world leaders, thinkers and identities such as Kofi Annan, Arthur C Clarke, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tony Blair and David Suzuki.

Complementing this exhibition is Natural Australian Icons which highlights the effect that climate change is having on Australia. The images shown depict five areas across Australia including the Great Barrier Reef and the Murray Darling River.

Western Australians have been invited to submit their own images showing the effect of climate change from a local perspective. From the entries received, ten winning images will go on display in the Western Australian Climate Change Photographic section.

Pictures of a Changing Climate will also show the changes Western Australians are making to tackle climate change. In particular this exhibition will highlight the State’s achievements and initiatives towards a better tomorrow.
