The photography exhibition Window on the World is ongoing in the entrance hall of the Faculty of Human Sciences, Universidade Católica Portuguesa. It consists of photographs Aishwarya Kumar, Emma Hallemans (AUK), Francisca Pereira, Hannah Paulina Dörfel, Joana Nóbrega, Katharina Eva Seelen, Lea Breyer, Maria Beatriz Amaral and Nora Frings. The photographs are accompanied by introductory essays that can be accessed through a QR code on site.
Window on the World is a project developed in the scope of the Ecocultures seminar (MA & PhD in Culture Studies, Faculty of Human Sciences), with the support of the Lisbon Consortium and CECC (Research Centre for Communication and Culture). It explores the inextricable relationship between culture and nature.
The photography exhibition celebrates World Environment Day (June 5) and showcases photos produced and selected by the students participating in the Ecocultures seminar, under the guidance of Prof. Diana Gonçalves. World Environment Day 2024, hosted by Saudi Arabia, focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.
Using the expression “window on the world” as a motto, the exhibition wishes to bring awareness to pressing environmental matters, respond to and engage with worldwide efforts of environmental action creatively, and foster a meaningful reflection on the interrelation and interdependence between humans, non-humans, and the planet Earth.
