Facing the Climate exhibition comes to Hanoi

Entitled, Facing the Climate, the exhibition is presented by the Swedish Institute, the Embassy of Sweden in Hanoi, Manzi and the National Library of Vietnam. 

This mouse, carrying high-rise buildings, big cities and factories, is about to chew the last bit of green land on Earth.

"Everything is quite clear. We’re just like the mouse whose growth is chewing up nature without any intention to stop. One day, things will backfire on us all. This picture captures the mouse before falling into that trap. I hope this illustration will have a big impression on viewers", said Pham Duy Dang, Vietnamese artist.

This is the usual scene of a group meeting. But the participants aren’t humans, but animals and trees.

"Through the exhibition, I hope people will be more aware of the impact of climate change. Scientists have talked about this, but the public in Vietnam doesn’t really know of this. There have been a lot of unseasonal and high-intensity floods in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in recent times and they’re the result of the negative effects of climate change", said Phung Minh Cuong, viewer.

Vietnam is among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. This exhibition is intended to emphasis the point that everyone, no matter where they are, are responsible for climate change, and that has been reflected by exhibition being displayed all over the world.

The free exhibition is on display at the Vietnam National Museum from September 28th to October 2nd.
