The article announces a photo exhibition titled "Melting Glaciers, Water Futures from the Alps to the Nile" at the Goethe Institute in Cairo, featuring Swiss photographer Pierre Jeanneret and Egyptian documentary photographer Roger Anis. Jeanneret's work documents the rapid melting of Swiss glaciers and its impacts on hydroelectric dams, tourism, and new landscapes, while Anis explores water, climate, and human resilience along the Nile. The exhibition is part of SABBART, a cultural initiative by EUNIC Cluster Egypt focusing on climate and environmental issues, and runs from 17 May to 4 June.
This exhibition matters because it bridges two distinct geographies—the Alps and the Nile—to address a shared global challenge: preserving water resources in a changing climate. By pairing scientific documentation with emotional storytelling, it fosters dialogue between Switzerland and Egypt, and between science and art, highlighting the urgent need for climate action. The show also underscores the role of cultural diplomacy in raising environmental awareness.
