Hard Rain    

A photographic exhibition interpreting Bob Dylan’s prophetic song ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’    

We bring you an exclusive exhibition on Climate change which shows the issues that are defining the 21st century like poverty, habitat loss and human rights.

Hard Rain is a photographic exhibition interpreting Bob Dylan’s prophetic song ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’. The exhibition showcases exclusive pictures taken and compiled from around the globe by photographer, author and environmental campaigner Mark Edwards. It shows the effects on nature, climate and humans in the 21st century. The highlight of the exhibition is to create an awakening in the masses that a little chance is left with the world to solve the problem of poverty, the wasteful use of resources, habitat and species loss, and the summation of our problems, climate change, unless we tackle all of them together.

Mark Edwards
Mark Edwards is one of the few environmental communicators to have personally witnessed the global issues that are defining the 21st century. His photographs are published world wide.

His photographs are in the collections of private collectors and museums in Europe and America. He has produced two major books and exhibition projects. Focus on Your World is a display of 400 large prints at Heathrow Airport. Over 5 million travellers have seen these images from the UNEP archive. It has been judged the most popular attraction at the airport.

The book and photo exhibition Hard Rain is the latest project, collaboration with Bob Dylan. It was launched at the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK in mid-2006 to huge public and critical acclaim, attracting the support and endorsement of political and environmental leaders across the world. It has been exhibited at the United Nations headquarter building in New York and been shown at outdoor locations in principle cities on every continent to over 12 million people.

Hard Rain is also compiled as a book which has been gifted to the policy makers of the world; it has forced them to give a deep thought on saving our plant, surrounding and people.
