3. The Hayward Gallery’s “Dear Earth: Art and Hope in a Time of Crisis”

The Hayward Gallery’s new exhibition, Dear Earth: Art and Hope in a Time of Crisis, is certainly ambitious. It aims to show how art can help us to understand and respond to the climate crisis, and to inspire hope in the face of overwhelming odds. The exhibition features work by 15 international artists, including Cornelia Parker, Hito Steyerl, Agnes Denes, Richard Mosse, and Otobong Nkanga. The works explore a wide range of themes, from the physical effects of climate change to the emotional and spiritual responses to it.

Some of the works are quite confronting, such as Richard Mosse’s photographs of the Amazon rainforest, which have been taken using military-grade infrared cameras. These images show the devastation that has been caused by deforestation and oil extraction. Other works are more hopeful, such as Otobong Nkanga’s sculptures, which are made from recycled materials and represent the interconnectedness of all life on Earth.
