The RCC in Glasgow
04.11.2021
1–12 November 2021
Parallel with the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) in Glasgow and just a few hundred metres from the main UN campus, the pop-up exhibition RCCGlasgow takes place. This exhibition showcases the work of the RCC community from around the world alongside Scottish voices.
The exhibiton is organized by two RCC alumni, Dominic Hinde (University of Glasgow) and Gerald Taylor Aiken (Luxembourg Institute of Socioeconomic Research—LISER), and supported by the Rachel Carson Center, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the New Glasgow Society.
Several special events accompany the exhibition. The launch of the short documentary project Adaption by co-organizer Dominic Hinde and Glasgow producer Alex Bott on 2 November was followed by an opening panel with academic and writer Samantha Walton, social anthropologist Naveeda Khan, and Lewis Coenen Rowe (Creative Carbon Scotland). Over the next few days more events and special contributions to the exhibition will take place. A panel discussion on the media's role in climate protection will be held; visitors will get the chance to see an installation on how we will remember the present; a special COP edition of the Scottish Culture Magazine The Drought will be launched; and the closing event will be a conversation with the writers Cal Flyn and David Farrier about their work in light of the COP.
