'El Quitasol', by Goya, turned into a climate refugee camp
Madrid hosts until next December 13 the Climate Summit, and the Prado Museum and the NGO World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have joined forces to use art as a motor to shake consciences. The result of this work is the campaign +1.5ºC changes everything in which they show how climate change would affect four of the museum's great works.
The objective? Warn of the impact that the climate crisis has and may have on our lives.
Intervention in 'Children on the beach', by Sorolla
Thus, with the assemblies made in the works The Passage of the Styx Lagoon , by Joachim Patinir; Sun visor , by Francisco de Goya; children on the beach , by Joaquin Sorolla; Y Philip IV on Horseback , by Velázquez, both institutions seek to show graphically the rise in sea level, the extinction of species, the drama of climate refugees or the disappearance of rivers and crops due to extreme drought.
Using art as a universal language, +1.5ºC Changes everything shows us how the planet would be if the temperature will increase more than 1.5ºC, that point that experts consider of no return; and demands actions and commitments from all actors to avoid it.
