NorthSouthEastWest.
A groundbreaking photographic exhibition developed by the British Council in partnership with The Climate Group and Magnum Photos, NorthSouthEastWest chronicles the impact of climate change in communities from all parts of the globe, as seen through the lenses of ten of the world’s top photographers.
The exhibition originally opened in March 2005 in London as part of the British Council’s global ZeroCarbonCity initiative, a two-year campaign to raise awareness and stimulate debate around climate change and the challenges faced around the world. Between now and 2007, NorthSouthEastWest will visit cities in more than 60 countries.
