During the project, emerging and established photographers took part in a Masterclass to explore new ways of visually representing climate change from different urban perspectives. By exploring how to tell better stories about the local impacts of climate change in Africa’s urban environments, we aimed to equip visual storytellers with the tools that they needed to raise awareness on these issues, help people understand the climate crisis better, and help them to advocate for change.
The Masterclass was facilitated by two experienced photographers: Georgina Goodwin and Edward Echwalu. It ran from July to August 2022 with participants in Kampala and virtually from Kenya and Nigeria. Participants included: Aídah Namusoke, Derrick Milimo, Oluwatosin Eiseke Bolaji, Wasswa James, Katumba Badru Sultan, Mildred Apenyo, Nicholas Shawn Mugarura, Sam Brian Kiseka, Timothy Namara and Vanessa Mulondo.
