Coming event -The shadowing effects of globalism

Are we sufficiently aware of the impact of plastic on humans and the environment?

Welcome to the conversation Globalism’s looming effects with Olof Jarlbro and the Miljöverkstaden at Dunkers kulturhus,Helsingborg, in the exhibition Poly.

The evening begins with a tour of the exhibition together with Olof Jarlbro. The exhibition consists of photographs that reflect the consequences of plastic dumping in Asia. A moving exhibition that problematizes the Western approach to plastic and sustainability. The tour is intended to give an insight into the devastating impact of plastic on humans and the environment, an insight that would have been difficult to get were it not for Olof’s work as a photojournalist.

Then the conversation that will illuminate and problematize what we see in the images from a sustainability and human rights perspective, with the goal of creating awareness of the world we live in and our relationship to each other. In a rapidly growing global world, we influence each other more and more, even if our borders are far apart.

The environmental workshop in Helsingborg will, among other things, talk about how important it is that we are aware of our own actions and how it affects the world outside our borders. The effort to increase awareness of the environment and sustainability in society is crucial to creating a more sustainable and fair future.

Are you ready for a change?
