Jon Lewis. Kiribati: putting a face to climate change
Monash Gallery of Art
Thursday 11 February 2010 to Monday 12 April 2010
Opening Saturday 13 February 2010 3pm
Australian photographer and a founder of Greenpeace Australia Jon Lewis will this weekend speak at MGA in response to his latest exhibition. Kiribati: putting a face to climate change, on display at MGA until 11 April, takes on the big issue of our time: climate change.
The Republic of Kiribati consists of 33 atolls and is situated in the Equatorial Pacific. It is a country under threat of storm surges, salination of fresh water, unpredictable weather and tidal increases. The environmental impacts of climate change are contributing to the country’s physical demise – tragically, it is slowly and surely going down.
