Through biographies and video testimonies, artistic installations and tangible case studies, the exhibition takes us on a journey from Alaska through Malaysia, Japan and Morocco to Micronesia. Around the globe, almost 500 million indigenous people are fighting to defend their rights in the face of the environmental injustice threatening their economies, their health and their cultures.

The “Environmental Injustice – Indigenous Peoples’ Alternatives” exhibition gives these men and women the chance to speak out as they endeavour to assert their collective rights to control their territories. The journey focuses on the political, geographic and social situation of indigenous peoples in the modern-day world. It shows how they propose to alter our relationship with the ecosystems in order to cope with environmental damage which is accelerated by climate change.
