On Thursday the 12th January I visited the Jersey Arts Centre. The Arts centre focuses on promoting and encourage the development of art. Their website says they aim to:
- “To enrich the quality of life for all residents and visitors
- To encourage participation in the performing, visual and literary arts
- To educate, inspire and to encourage debate”
The exhibition, known as: “Climate State of Emergency” in association with Alliance Francaise builds upon the theme of how climate change impacts different people in different parts of the world. The exhibition was responding to the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.
The exhibition portrays the serious dangers of climate change exposing the level of truth despite endless politicians burying and therefore prolonging the issues that have already arisen. This exhibition successfully points out to us of ho climate change has got so bad that it cannot be an issue that is simply swept under the rug for another 50 years. In this sense it is somewhat a form of protest for the lack of things being done with the issue and how it harms everyone on an international level.
