Ethan Rafal, The Climate Emergency in 50 Rounds
The Climate Emergency in 50 Rounds is a long-term, ongoing research, curatorial, and activist effort, bringing together photo-based artists from across the planet to confront the climate emergency. This project is organized by Ethan Rafal.
The Climate Emergency in 50 Rounds contains books made by 50 photographic artists and artist collectives whose work urgently responds to the climate crisis. The artists represent 36 countries and 2 occupied territories on 6 continents. Their projects have been created in ecosystems that span the entire planet. The collected photo books offer a striking comparative analysis of a global phenomenon that has reached a state of emergency.
The first public exhibition of The Climate Emergency in 50 Rounds took place in September, 2020, in Oslo, Norway, in partnership with the Forbundet Frie Fotografer (FFF) for their yearly project, Fotobokfestival Oslo.
The newspaper edition introduces the work of the 50 artists included in the project’s first iteration. A foreword, an essay about the project, and two posters are included.
