The climate crisis has an immense impact on our world. Without immediate action, these adverse effects will continue to increase in the upcoming years. This exhibition brings together various visual stories on the climate crisis, from its global consequences to the everyday impact on local communities in Tanzania and Kenya.

The results of this dedicated program, made possible by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and NOOR Images, can be seen throughout this unique exhibition.

The photographic works, developed by four Tanzanian visual storytellers, Calvin Kulaya, Rahabu Manyasani, Imani Nsamila and Michael Mbwambo; and four Kenyan visual storytellers, Anthony Ochieng, Cynthia Maiwa, Billy Miaron and Gordwin Odhiambo; explore many aspects of life, from urban living to wildlife, and engage with both critical and constructive visual journalism to highlight the local impact of the climate crisis. These works are showcased alongside the works of award-winning photojournalist Kadir van Lohuizen. 

A series of events will be additionally held at the Alliance Française in Dar es Salaam. This includes:

Tuesday, February 8:

  • 10 am - press conference 

  • 14 pm - roundtable meeting with the photographers

  • 18:30 pm - an invitation only visage of “Capturing Climate Change”

Wednesday, February 9:

This exhibition includes a selection of images showcasing the dedicated programs for climate action in Tanzania and Kenya, which are supported by the Netherlands and partners such as SNV and Justdiggit. 

By highlighting these valuable stories through powerful visual journalism, this exhibition aims to inspire climate action, to remind you that change is possible, and that together we can create a better world.

NOOR would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tanzania and Kenya and the support of SNV, JustDiggit, PAWA254, the British Council Tanzania and the Alliance Française in realising this initiative.
