Watch Sir David Attenborough’s full COP26 Speech
In November 2021 Sir David Attenborough made a stunning speech at the opening of the COP26 summit as the crowd erupted in cheers after he offered hope to world leaders.
“A new industrial revolution powered by millions of sustainable innovations is essential and is indeed already beginning.
“We will all share in the benefits in the benefits affordable clean energy, healthy air and enough food to sustain us all.” “It comes down to this.
“The people alive now are the generation to come, will look at this conference and consider one thing. “Did that number stop rising and start to drop as a result of commitments made here.
“There’s every reason to believe that the answer can be yes. “Working together we are powerful enough to save it.”
Mikaffin Gallery, in the East end of London, presents a new group show ahead of the COP26
In the run-up to COP 26 Summit, the Mikaffin Gallery in East London will be hosting the first London screening of the short film ‘Time Bascule’ by Di Mainstone, as part of a small group show with two other climate-inspired artists Jeremie Magar and Pierre Verluca.
The exhibition will run over 3 days from Friday, October 29th to Sunday, October 31st 2021, aiming to create impact inside the communities surrounding the gallery with a body of works centred around climate.
East London based artist Di Mainstone is fascinated by how we relate to and connect with nature within the urban environment. Her short film ‘Time Bascule’ speaks to the climate crisis and the power we have to affect change. A message in a bottle found on the shoreline of the River Thames leads thirteen-year-old Rose to Tower Bridge, where she discovers that the landmark’s intricate ‘bascule’ mechanism holds the secret to the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Time Bascule is a fantastical retelling of the story of Hannah Griggs, one of the first women to work at Tower Bridge, who was also a passionate gardener.
Pierre’s work uses a sense of disorientation within our familiar surroundings, inviting the strong presence of the sea into the city and into our everyday lives. Recording the affective and perceptive shifts that geographical displacement generates, Pierre is interested in the heightened perception of displacement and the outlook it offers into our everyday spaces. “As a foreigner painting in London, I assume an exterior point of view to depict the workings of the city. However, I never separate these investigations of urban spaces (often in construction) from my subjective dreamscapes that involve the coasts of France and England.”
Following his solo show with the Mikaffin gallery last month, Jeremie will be showing some of the paintings that remain available. The organic nature of Jeremie’s artworks address the fragility of the elements, but also at the same time the power of nature and the necessity for humanity to deal with great care when it comes to using ressources that were given to us by mother nature
The preview is this Friday between 6-9 pm (film screening 7.30pm) If you can’t make the Friday Preview, then the film will be playing in the gallery throughout the weekend. Here are the details:
