An exhibition of works from female photographers around the world examines how global climate is affected

A chance encounter, Malawi
Gulshan Khan (South Africa) exposes the devastating health and ecological impacts of coal mining in one of South Africa’s most polluted towns in a series of images entitled Emalahleni, while A Life in Plastic follows Johannesburg’s waste-pickers – those who survive on the margins by salvaging and selling the detritus of modern life:
A reclaimer, sometimes described as a ‘silver surfer’, pulls his load of waste on a trolley into Mudimu Recycling, a buy-back centre in Selby, Johannesburg, where reclaimers bring waste to be weighed and sold
John Mthembu walks inside a mine in the Vosman area in Witbank, Emalahleni
Birds scavenge among the waste at Robinson Deep, Johannesburg’s largest landfill
Maria Nkosi demonstrates how she uses her inhaler for her asthma, at her home, which is a street away from a mine in Clever, Witbank, Emalahleni
