Photo District News chooses Jan Grarup’s image from Darfur as “Photo of the Day”.
From Photo District News: “Leaders from nations around the world are gathered this week in Copenhagen at a UN summit on climate change, and for a growing portion of the world’s population, an international agreement to address the problem can’t come soon enough. Shown here is an image from Jan Grarup’s recent story, “Darfur: A Climate Conflict.”
“Slightly removed from the organized chaos of the Bella Centre, the Climate Rescue Station is proving to be an oasis of calm and tranquility, a place of relaxation and reflection. Perfect, then, to host a new photographic exhibition to illustrate the impacts of climate change around the world.
“Art can be a powerful tool for the social justice movement and it plays an important role in communicating new ideas. The images in Consequences are certainly powerful, although the landscapes and people they depict are blighted by environmental degradation and social upheaval.” Read more on the Greenpeace website.
