Open Fire

Julio Molina

West Downs Gallery

Open Fire is an immersive installation that tells the story of a planet ablaze, a story which is real and happens every year (take as an example Spain, Canada, Greece, Australia, Hawaii, Chile and Brazil, to name but a few). Join us for this exhibition opening and roundtable which will bring together citizen voices, experts and the artist in a debate on the climate crisis and fire. The event’s Q&A will be an important opportunity for you to share your own thoughts on how climate change, politics and fire have impacted natural and cultural landscapes, and also potential solutions.
