Our People, Our Climate is a ground-breaking documentary film initiative, aiming to develop the storytelling skills of Nunavut youth and young adults. Inuit communities across Canada's Arctic are essential to current climate change discussions, and this project brings together a range of young people in these communities to tell important stories through a unique and distinct cultural lens. Beginning in early 2020, the project emerged as an international collaboration between West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative, Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, ilinniapaa Skills Development Centre in Iqaluit and University of Minnesota, Duluth.
Sophie Reuter, a German photographer, contributes a photographic series that focuses on the eco-activist struggle to save the remaining part of the Hambacher forest located between Cologne and Aachen. This ancient forest has been decimated in the last decade by the extension of an open pit mine extracting lignite, which produces a third more carbon than more common coals. Activists occupied the forest, constructing a network of treehouses high above ground, linked by walkways. Conditions were always difficult and exacerbated by regular confrontations with the police who argued that the protestors’ barricades and infrastructure for living would impede access to a forest fire. In September 2018, there was a major attempt to oust the protesters using armoured vehicles with ploughs and water cannons, evicting people from at least fifty treehouses.
If Not Us Then Who is a charity that runs a global awareness campaign highlighting the role indigenous and local people play in protecting our planet. Working in partnership with communities, they facilitate the production of films and photographs that document the work of these communities and advocate for greater rights for indigenous and local peoples to bring about positive social change.
The exhibition will coincide with a programme of events that will run throughout 31 Oct - 12 Nov hosted by the likes of Sheffield DocFest, BUZZCUT and Scottish Youth Theatre. You can view the full programme of events on CCA’s website.
