"FACING THE CLIMATE" CARTOON EXHIBITION IN TANZANIA

The exhibition Facing the Climate has been developed by the Swedish Institute, produced by the Embassy of Sweden in Dar-es-Salaam Tanzania and Buni Media.

The idea of this exhibition was initiated to coincide with the 2009 United Nations Copenhagen Climate change conference when 25 Nordic cartoonists interpreted the subject. Since then Swedish cartoonists have been collaborating with international colleagues around the world to offer amusing and alarming view on climate change related issues from different local perspectives.

The exhibition in Tanzania brings together Swedish, Tanzanian, Kenyan and Ethiopian cartoonists. Using the power of humor and satire, these cartoonists invite the public to reflect upon the challenges of climate change and encourage responsible actions.

Opening of the exhibition Facing the Climate in Tanzania took place at Creative Arts Department (University of Dar-es-Salaam) on 26 may 2017.

Prior to the exhibition, Ambassador of Sweden in Tanzania, H.E. Ms. Katarina Rangnitt, invited Tanzanian cartoonists featured in the exhibition for lunch at her residence
