Dhaka – Having reached out to global audiences in Copenhagen, Paris and Marrakech, international photo exhibition ‘Mind the Earth: A New Perspective’ has arrived here with its founder and curator Kasper Brejnholt Bak. UNB news agency reported
The Embassy of Denmark in Bangladesh, in partnership with Edge, The Foundation presents this thought-provoking journey, scheduled to open to the public on Friday at Edge Gallery and will be running till Saturday (May 6).
Admission is free for all and the exhibition will be open every day from 10 am to 8 pm at the serene setting of Bay’s Edgewater Building on 12 North Avenue, Gulshan 2.
The gripping photos at the exhibition raise consciousness about planet Earth, how it has naturally come to be as it is today and how its inhabitants continue to change its face, for the better and for worse. Rightfully so, Mind the Earth has been exhibited at COP21 in Paris and COP22 in Marrakech, the most important global conference on climate change.
While viewing the mesmerising photos of Mind the Earth, one is left bewildered at the power of perspective. Nature’s physical formations can be equated to art while mankind’s pursuit in creating modern instruments through which humanity can advance is nothing short of remarkable.
Mind the Earth, now a non-profit organization running for two years with exhibitions held in four countries, is focusing primarily on communication through exhibitions, publications and other communication initiatives with a goal to increase awareness about the challenges the world is facing in terms of climate change, population growth, urbanization and management of the limited resources of the planet in a broader sense.
The overall theme of the exhibition is the intertwined subjects of sustainable development and climate change, explored through striking photos secured via Google Earth’s satellites.
Hosting its first international exhibition, Edge, The Foundation seeks to create a better world through sharing knowledge and is proud to partner with the Embassy of Denmark in Bangladesh and Kasper Brejnholt Bak, said a press release on Thursday.
Edge Gallery’s events showcase and promote creativity, helping raise funds for educational scholarships and artist grants.
