Alessandro Grassani's Climate Crisis Photography at Milan's Museo Diocesano

The Museo Diocesano di Milano presents 'Alessandro Grassani. Emergenza climatica. Un viaggio ai confini del mondo', a solo exhibition curated by Denis Curti featuring forty photographs by Italian photographer and visual journalist Alessandro Grassani. The works document extreme climate conditions driving forced migration across Mongolia, Kenya, Bangladesh, and Haiti. Grassani, whose clients include The New York Times and L'Espresso, captures the human toll of environmental disasters: a Mongolian winter that killed eight million livestock and displaced 20,000 herders, drought in Kenya, flooding and sea-level rise in Bangladesh and Haiti. His approach emphasizes truth, minimal composition, and harmony between subject and landscape. One 2011 image from Arkhangai province shows a yurt nearly swallowed by snow; another depicts a woman in Nairobi with a green turban pouring brown water. Museum director Nadia Righi states the exhibition responds to Pope Francis's call for environmental awareness. The show runs at the Museo Diocesano di Milano.
