“COAL + ICE” featuring Nichole Sobecki

From: February 13, 2024 @ 10:00 EST
Portrait of Ahmed Hassan, an elder in Waaciye, Puntland, which faces increasing challenges with gully erosion, on May 17, 2016. Gully erosion can make large tracts of land impassable for nomads and their livestock, and with predicted climate change gullies may erode up to three times faster than normal.

Now open in New York City, COAL + ICE features a poignant exploration of the human consequences of advancing climate change in Somalia by Nichole Sobecki, a contributing photographer for VII Photo. Her series is displayed alongside some extraordinary colleagues in the exhibition curated by Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas and international exhibition designer Jeroen de Vries.

COAL + ICE is an immersive photography and video exhibition and series of related events that visualizes the causes and consequences of the climate crisis and proposes creative solutions. Open until August 11, 2024, climate change takes center stage at Asia Society New York through a series of speaker events, performances, films, and more.
