The Ants and The Grasshopper
DIRECTED BY: RAJ PATEL & ZAK PIPER
Travelling from Malawi to California to the White House, Anita Chitaya meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe they live on a different planet from everyone else.
It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognise, and free themselves from, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.
Letters From the Global South was created using letters and pictures by school children from countries like Nigeria, Pakistan, and South Africa. The exhibition seeks to show how the climate crisis is affecting people in the world’s most vulnerable communities. The exhibition has traveled around the UK visiting London, Leicester, Birmingham, Shropshire, Canterbury and North Devon]
