Nowhere To Call Home

Nowhere to Call Home was an outdoor projection at the National Theatre in London and online audio experience exploring the human issues around climate change and forced migration. Photographic and filmed portraits of climate refugees from Bangladesh and Sami people from the Arctic, whose way of life is threatened by climate change, have been captured by the Environmental Justice Foundation, with their own stories told as audio dramatisations by playwright Ursula Rani Sarma. You can see the portraits and hear these stories here. The exhibition at the National Theatre was part of Season for Change, a UK-wide programme of cultural responses celebrating the environment and inspiring urgent action on climate change. During the day you could see the photographs and hear the stories by visiting the National Theatre and after dark the photographs were projected on National Theatre’s fly tower and the stories were available to listen as downloads. The images were visible each night from 6pm – 11pm, Friday 26 October to Friday 2 November 2018.
