Exhibition Details

Lines of Survival: Living, adapting, imagining tomorrow, explores how people live with climate pressure, the resourceful ways communities are adapting, and how imagination can shape more resilient futures. At a moment when adaptation, resilience, energy access and the financing of climate solutions are moving to the centre of global debate, the perspectives of the communities experiencing these shifts most directly remain too often absent.
