SALT Galata, Auditorium
Composed to offer a framework in which to question the responsibilities of museums and cultural institutions in the face of devastating effects of climate change, the program Is this our last chance? was initiated at SALT in 2015 to coincide with the COP21, 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference. A second program of nine documentaries that explore a range of actions and enquiries on environmental issues in relation to climate change, will be shown at SALT Galata following the COP22, 2016 Marrakech Climate Change Conference.
The hope remains that discussions through these platforms will encourage action; action that affects SALT’s approach to exhibition making and its structural practices; action that influences working attitudes beyond the walls of the institution; action that feeds into ideas around conservation in general.
All documentaries are shown in English or original language with English subtitles.
In September 2015, SALT announced that it will not accept support from oil, coal, or gas corporate entities.
