COAL + ICE: An immersive documentary photography exhibition
COAL + ICE is a documentary photography and video exhibition about climate change that brings together the work of over 40 photographers from around the world to visually narrate the consequences triggered by the continued use of fossil fuels. The exhibition is co-curated by Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas and renowned Dutch exhibition designer Jeroen de Vries.
This past September, COAL + ICE made its U.S. premiere at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture in San Francisco, inside a 50,000 pavilion. The exhibition also served as a stage for a three-week festival of events seeking to amplify the conversation about climate change and explore visionary solutions.
The U.S. premiere of COAL + ICE was an Affiliate Event of the Global Climate Action Summit, and among many other events (see highlight video below), hosted Governor Jerry Brown’s California Leadership Dinner for 500 Summit delegates inside the exhibition with a vegetarian meal by Alice Waters.
