Climate Hope: Photographic Works from the Nasher Collection
This exhibition presents photographs from the Nasher Museum鈥檚 permanent collection that highlight the effect of human activity on the global climate and the role that hope and youth play in our collective future. Continuing the conversation sparked by the exhibition, Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene, the installation was curated by the Bass Connections project team, Climate Hope: Action Rooted in Visual Arts + Nature Education. This interdisciplinary research initiative brings together Duke and K-12 students and teachers with the goal of empowering students to understand climate challenges, envision positive solutions, and become a new generation of environmental stewards.
Climate Hope: Photographic Works from the Nasher Collection pairs photographs with reflections written by Duke students, making visible the team鈥檚 work from Fall 2024. The exhibition mines photography鈥檚 expressive potential as introduced by Literacy Through Photography, a teaching methodology developed by the Center for Documentary Studies, that inspires youth to explore their world through the lens of photography. Climate Hope encourages visitors to examine their own relationship with the environment to foster a sense of responsibility towards nature and inspire positive climate action.
