ABSTRACT
In this chapter, Britta Kallin explores four portraits, three art installations, and one landscape photograph from Barbara Dombrowski’s Tropic Ice series that create a visual exchange between people living in different climate zones whose portraits act as ambassadors for their culture and geographic area. Dombrowski chose these locations because the indigenous people in these areas are the ones who will be affected by climate change first, even though they have hardly contributed to carbon dioxide emissions. They still live in harmony with nature, hunt only what they can eat, and do not follow a Western lifestyle. This chapter offers student-centered activities that explore Tropic Ice in terms of Clean Water and Life below Water (SDGs 6 and 14) as well as Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Life on Land (SDGs 7, 12, 13, and 15).
