'Hard Rain' - A Climate Slide Show with photographer Mark Edwards
Sunday 8th October, 18.00 - 20.00,
€8.00, Cultivate, 15-19 Essex St West, Temple Bar, Dublin
In this session Mark Edwards, an internationally
acclaimed photographer whose pictures have been seen by millions
around the world, will give a climate slide show entitled 'Hard
Rain.' Mark has travelled in over 150 countries to show the extent
and nature of the environmental crisis that threatens to engulf
us all. Hard Rain takes us on a journey through tropical rainforests,
man-made deserts, across mega-cities and peasant villages and into
communities of indigenous people living in the most remote habitats
on earth. But this slide show is not just another travelogue. Drawing
on his collaboration with the renowned physicist David Bohm, Edwards
shows how the process of thought itself is bringing about these
unintended results that threaten the very existence of civilisation.
Part of The Powerdown Lounge, a series
of sessions exploring our responses to Peal Oil and Climate Change
in Cultivate's new 'Learning Lounge' . These will include presentations,
film screenings, discussion and video conferencing.

Reviews of Mark Edwards Slideshow & Discussion
“Mark is one of the most effective photographers
in the world. In his slide presentation he showed us that he has
two voices: the ‘voice’ of his images and the ‘voice’
of his lecturing. With superb timing and with a wonderful way of
linking pictures and words he revealed things that have been invisible
to us. There are few others who have such a thorough grasp of issues
of the environment, development and new approaches to business practice.
For 800 people Mark’s lecture was a truly memorable occasion
and their loud applause spoke for itself.”
Herbert Giradet, Chairman, Schumacher Society,
London
“Mark has brought us an extraordinary
account of our environmental crisis. Hard Rain is electrifying -
the most moving slide presentation I have ever seen. He transported
his audience from the Sheraton Ballroom to facets of a world seldom
seen by one individual. We travelled with him and went away transformed
in our understanding. His commentary forces us to ask fundamental
and unexpected questions about ourselves and how we live. An extraordinary
experience.”
Philip Noyce, Director United Nations Global
