Trump Revolution: Climate Crisis – Panel Discussion

Please join exhibiting photographers Katie Orlinsky and Kadir van Lohuizen for a virtual discussion on their work in the arctic and the long term effects of melting ice. They will be joined by Washington Post Editor Nick Kirkpatrick and BDC Founder and Executive Director, Mike Kamber.

Katie Orlinsky’s work Chasing Winter is a photographic project that explores how climate change is challenging communities across Alaska, and transforming the relationship between people, animals, and land. Scientists call Alaska “ground zero” for climate change, and 2014 was the state’s warmest year on record. But climate change in Alaska means more than just warm weather; it means snow that arrives later in the fall, a spring thaw that happens sooner, vanishing sea ice, retreating glaciers, an explosion of wildfires, intense storms, and diminishing natural habitats pressuring hundreds of local animal species along with the people who depend on them.

Kadir van Lohuizen’s work Arctic: The New Frontier, in collaboration with Yuri Kozyrev focuses on the consequences of the melting of the sea ice for our planet, and the medium-term prospect of its total disappearance. Yuri Kozrev traveled towards the East and Kadir van Lohuizen headed West. Each of them traveled halfway across the Arctic Circle to meet in the Bering Strait, their aim was to explore what could happen to the planet as sea ice melts and eventually disappears altogether.

This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition Trump Revolution: Climate Crisis. The exhibition is curated by the Bronx Documentary Center’s Exhibition Coordinator Cynthia Rivera, and Executive Director Michael Kamber. The online exhibition will be available to view on May 23, 2020 at www.trumprevolutionbdc.org
