Letters from the Global South: Exhibition and Workshop on Climate Change

This event, organized in collaboration with Finsbury Park Mosque and Islington Council, is perfect for individuals who regularly attend the mosque or live in the local area. Letters from the Global South is an educational initiative jointly run by Zero Hour, the campaign for the Climate & Ecology (CE) Bill and Muslims Declare.

The Exhibition

From Wednesday, 6 September to Friday 8 September 2023, the exhibition will be open to the public during the mosque’s regular opening hours. In this exhibition you will explore illustrations, handwritten letters, personal accounts, photos, and artwork that provide an accessible introduction to climate change and its impacts worldwide. These displays will serve as a starting point for our discussions and activities during the workshop.

The Workshop

On 8 September, join us for a special three-hour workshop that delves deeper into the exhibition’s themes. Our goal is to bridge the gap between global solidarity with affected communities worldwide and local action in the UK. Through storytelling, group activities and discussions, we will explore different perspectives and collectively generate ideas for positive change.

Join whether you’d like to learn more about the exhibition’s themes or are interested in making a difference at the local or broader scale. We encourage everyone, regardless of prior knowledge or experience, to participate in this event.

During the workshop, a light dinner and refreshments will be provided, and we’ll also have a break for prayer.

– Exhibition Dates: 6-8 September (during mosque opening hours)
