“Facing the Climate” Exhibition Opens in Hanoi

Recently, a unique exhibition “Facing the Climate” of its type was opened to the public in Hanoi. The exhibition combines climate-themed cartoons by five Swedish artists with the climate-related artworks of artists in host countries: in this case five Vietnamese cartoonists join Swedish counterparts in taking a sharp look at the climate issue, with the aim of encouraging discussion about a sustainable society and heightening awareness of current environmental problems.

 

Facing the Climate has been staged in a number of international contexts, with exhibitions taking place since 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Athens, Tirana, Tel Aviv and Novosibirsk amongst other cities around the world. To date, more than 150,000 people around the world have seen the exhibition.

 

The Facing the Climate exhibition in Vietnam is presented by the Swedish Institute, Embassy of Sweden in Hanoi, Manzi and the National Library of Vietnam.
