The photo exhibition Hard Rain: Our Headlong Collision with Nature is currently on display at the United Nations North-East Gallery Visitors’ Lobby in New York. Mark Edwards, photographer and founder of the photo agency Still Pictures, created the essay as a series of images shot over the last 40 years set to lyrics from Bob Dylan’s A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall. Photos from Edwards’ personal archive plus contributions by Sebastiao Salgado, Chris Steele-Perkins and others explore various themes including the environment, climate change and human rights. The photos, which are being displayed beneath a replica of the Sputnik satellite, coincide with the sixteenth Review Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development.
For more on this exhibition, check out the UN press release or watch the YouTube video below. You can also
