LICCI team collaborates in the exhibition "The weather is in disarray"
The LICCI project of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) has collaborated with the Valencian Museum of Ethnology (L'ETNO) in an exhibition about how climate change affects us all as a society. The exhibition can be visited until March 2nd.
Climate change is an undeniable truth, but it seems that we still consider that it does not concern us directly, as if it only affected the thaw in the Arctic, the polar bears or the glaciers of the Himalayas.
The exhibition shows the perceptions of elder people, who live in rural areas and who have worked in activities in close contact to nature, describing climate change manifestations in their local environment and professional activities (e.g., farming, livestock keeping, etc.). The choice of the interviewees was made following scientific criteria, looking for those informants who, due to their work and place of residence, are privileged observers of a reality that for many of us who live in the city goes more unnoticed.
The testimonies shown in the exhibition confront us with an undeniable truth: the dramatic transformations of nature. The reduction of rainfall and its lack of regularity, the increase in heat and its earlier arrival, the reduction of winter snowfall and the delay in winter are just some of the local perceptions of climate change impacts convened in this exhibition.
Date: Until 20th March 2022
Time: Tuesday-Sunday, 10-20h
Venue: Valencian Museum of Ethnology
