So excited to share a project we have been working on with @museumfortheun, a dynamic and inspiring campaign called #MyMarkMyCity. Throughout history, art has proved one of the most powerful and effective tools for communicating complicated or controversial subjects. Artists play hugely important roles at the heart of our communities and society - as public voices, change-makers, influencers and inspiring voices. Their work not only helps us reflect on our past, it helps us imagine different futures. For #MyMarkMyCity we commissioned a series of emerging artists working around the world to create pieces exploring issues of climate change and the future of their cities. The works vary from performance pieces, workshops to films and installations. Each artist has stimulated conversation about the urgency of climate emergency response in their community experiencing a mixture of reactions which we will also be sharing. One of these artists is Ethiopian photographer Abel Gashaw (@abelgashaw_visual ) who chose to document the “Green Legacy”, an ambitious, and somewhat controversial tree planting project led by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Abel is aware of sceptics around the campaign and he wanted to present an objective view, capturing the difference in opinions about the project. His overall impression was optimistic: “Despite the problems, this is the first mass planting campaign in Africa and paves the way to amazing solutions to keep cities green and combat climate change.” Read more here: http://bit.ly/383scdo More fantastic pieces to come soon! #ISHKARstories. @ ishkarartisans

Few cities have a front row seat to #climatechange like Kathmandu. These student lawyers have no interest in sitting back and watching it happen though. River pollution, deforestation, and environmental laws in #Nepal are a few of the places they want to start locally. Link in bio for more! #mymarkmycity #climateaction. @ museumfortheun
Ms Shaista Ambar looks after the Amber Mosque, located near SGPGI, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. She became an icon of Sustainable Development and an inspiration to many, when she got solar panels installed on the Mosque to fulfill its energy needs from a sustainable source. The Mosque now is totally off grid. #mymarkmycity @museumfortheun @purpose @ theclimateagenda
