The Hard Rain exhibition is the brainchild of photographer Mark Edwards. It was inspired by an incident in 1969 when he was rescued by a Tuareg nomad after becoming stranded in the Sahara desert. Bob Dylan’s ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’ was playing on a cassette player in the Tuareg settlement, and since then Edwards has travelled the world taking photographs that illustrate Dylan’s song and demonstrate humans’ ‘headlong collision with nature’. The exhibition provides a thought-provoking insight into why the appropriate management of resources, including energy, is so important.
The photographs will be on display in Royal Fort Gardens from Monday 20 April to Friday 1 May. The exhibition is free and is open to the public.
Sustainability launched it energy campaign by taking part in the global ‘ Earth Hour’ on 28 March. For more information on the campaign, please see the Sustainability website.
