Kadir van Lohuizen will give a book presentation on February 18th at Pakhuis De Zwijger in Amsterdam.

The presentation of the new book ‘After us the deluge’ by Kadir van Lohuizen is followed by a debate about the climate crisis and the rising sea level. In this debate, it will be discussed what the worst-case scenario could be and how we can prepare ourselves for this. What will be the consequences for island states like Kiribati and do we have enough time to fortify our coastal defences, or is adaptation the way to go? How predictable is the melting of the ice sheets and why are we still not able to bring the temperature down as a agreed at the climate summit in Paris?

Tanya Habjouqa's Project 'A Sacred Space Oddity' exhibited by BredaPhoto

HAT Exhibition 3.jpeg

The transmedia project by Jordanian-born photographer Tanya Habjouqa is about the discrepancy between our image and the reality of today’s Middle East. The image that is regularly shown in the media of the region is that of spectacular confrontations between the Israeli army and Palestinian youth. In A Space Oddity, commissioned by BredaPhoto, the photographer goes in search of a different reality: the tensions and possibilities of life during – and under – occupation. The project combines still and moving images, sound and stereographs that together make the absurdity of the landscape almost tangible.
