Photography 4 Humanity: A lens on Climate Justice with Multaka Oxford Youth Culture Club

📍 Fusion Arts, 15 Park End Street, Oxford, OX1 1HH
🗓️ 5th June 12pm–5pm, 6th - 8th June 12-6pm

As part of the 2025 Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, this exhibition brings together powerful global photojournalism and local youth-led creativity to explore climate justice through the lens of human experience.

The Photography 4 Humanity Climate Justice Photo Exhibition is a compelling visual journey documenting the real human impact of the climate crisis. Through the lenses of both amateur and professional photographers from around the world, the images spotlight the lived experiences of poor and marginalised communities on the frontlines—those most affected by climate devastation. These works bear witness to displacement, resilience, and the urgent call for action, underscoring that climate change is fundamentally a human rights issue.

Presented in collaboration with Fotografiska, the global leader in the presentation of photographic art, this showcase is rooted in the belief that photography can challenge, inform, and inspire global action. Fotografiska’s commitment to amplifying urgent realities makes them the ideal presenting partner for this impactful exhibition.

Running alongside these international works are creative contributions from the Multaka Oxford Youth Culture Club—a local community project developed by Multaka Oxford and Fusion Arts, in collaboration with young people aged 16–25. Through workshops exploring natural materials, recycled art, and digital storytelling, participants have reflected on their own roles in climate justice and community building.

These locally made works bring the exhibition into the heart of Oxford, connecting global narratives with place-based, youth-led responses. Co-created with local partners and aligned with the Summit’s key themes—research, law, rights, and movement-building—this project celebrates the power of young people as agents of change.

Let these combined voices—global and local, professional and community—challenge, move, and compel us to act. Climate justice is not a distant cause. It is a shared, urgent responsibility—right here, right now.
