COAL + ICE visualizes the causes and consequences of the climate crisis and foregrounds creative solutions. The exhibition brings together the work of more than 50 photographers from China and around the world, and traces a photographic arc from deep within coal mines to the melting glaciers of the greater Himalaya, and across the globe where rising sea levels and extreme weather events are wreaking havoc.
