After Us The Deluge by Kadir van Lohuizen
"After Us The Deluge" looks at the human consequences of the rising sea level. Due to the climate crisis, the glaciers all over the world are retreating and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an alarming pace. The future human cost of rising sea levels are dramatic. The entire country of Kiribati, for example, will have to relocate, while it is estimated that in Bangladesh about 50 million people will need to move from the delta region by 2050. Nobody knows where they will go. The east coast of the USA is experiencing sea level rise which is three-times higher than the global average. It is predicted that major centres such as the Miami beach area will need to be evacuated by 2060.
"After Us The Deluge" provides vivid visual coverage of how the climate crisis is already affecting places where people live, Greenland with its melting glaciers, Kiribati, Fiji, the Carteret islands in Papua New Guinea, Bangladesh, the Guna Yala archipelago in Panama, the United Kingdom, Jakarta, the Marshall islands, the Netherlands and the United States.
Kadir van Lohuizen will be giving a keynote lecture at Princeton University's Humanities Council, on February 19th.

Chinese Uyghurs fleeing Xinjiang province by Yuri Kozyrev
As of 2018, it was estimated that the Chinese authorities may have detained hundreds of thousands of Muslim Chinese Uyghurs in so-called "reeducation camps". Most people in the camps have never been charged with crimes and have no legal avenues to challenge their detentions. Often, their only crime is being Muslim, human rights groups say, adding that many Uighurs have been labeled as extremists simply for practicing their religion.
Yuri Kozyrev portrayed the Chinese Uyghurs that managed to flee to countries bordering the Xinjiang province.
