Artist Talk by Photographer Ciril Jazbec, Winner of the 2018 Grant for Visual Storytelling on Climate Change

United Photo Industries & Visura proudly invite you to an Artist Talk by photographer Ciril Jazbec, winner of the 2018 Grant for Visual Storytelling on Climate Change. Ciril will be speaking about his long-term project on the Arctic and the effects of climate change on the local Inuit communities in Greenland.

CIRIL JAZBEC – Melting Away

“Melting Away is my long-term body of work on which I plan to work on for the rest of my career. I keep returning back to the Arctic almost on a yearly basis, because I feel a very honest urge to document the climate change crisis. Throughout my trips I have managed to establish incredible relationships with the Inuit people and I am fortunate to be able to count many Greenlanders as my friends. We are in the constant touch about the new unfolding events. Daily life of Inuits is changing rapidly due to the climate change and being able to capture and communicate this change is my main vision. This requires a lot of resources and energy from my side, however I deeply care about our planet and feel like my work can help fight the climate change. I grew up in a small Slovenian village surrounded by nature and also from this stems my inspiration to do the projects that raise awareness about environmental issues.”
