This compelling conversation includes a diverse panel of photographers, journalists, and scientists that will delve into the pivotal role photography has in shaping the narrative of climate crisis in Southeast Asia.

Complementing this conversation is a digital exhibition featuring photographs that capture the profound impact of climate crisis in Southeast Asia. These striking visuals have been created by the artists during a 6-month residency programme organised by the NOOR Foundation in Hanoi, making this event a unique opportunity to witness the intersection of art & environment. Join us in exploring the power of photography in raising climate crisis awareness.

The event will be followed by a cocktail reception.
