Photography meets International Law and Climate Action
Join us at The Hague Humanity Hub for AWP / NOW: Environmental Harm as an International Crime, an evening where documentary photography meets international law, climate action, and the movement to recognize ecocide as a distinct international crime. How can we make better use of existing international criminal law to address environmental destruction, and what could recognizing ecocide as a distinct crime add to the pursuit of accountability?

The evening starts with the exhibition featuring the work of Art Works Projects Emerging Lens Fellows Oyewole Lawal and Edwin Ndeke, who will join in conversation with Steve Bynum, Executive Director of Art Works Projects.
