Two Rivers Art Gallery is opening the shutters on international climate change issues in vulnerable communities of the world.
Photographer Christine Germano has documented and catalogued the consequences already showing their signs, and these images form Portraits of Resilience, her ode to the human and environmental price being paid by the changing temperatures of the global atmosphere.
Germano will run the images past the local public tonight only at a free event.
"We invite everyone to join Vancouver-based artist Christine Germano as she talks about her international community photography projects on the subject of climate change and how it is affecting the communities of the Arctic and small island developing states," said assistant curator Maeve Hanna. "Communities that Germano has worked with include Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Nunavut, Fiji, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Samoa, Barbuda and Seychelles."
Germano is in Prince George as part of the University of the Arctic network conference going on at UNBC, at which she is a presenter.
"She made contact with us, since she was already here, so we jumped at the opportunity," said Hanna. "She will be giving a slideshow presentation in one of the main gallery spaces here."
The event tonight is free, open to the public, and begins at 7:30 p.m.
