Batoul Shimi: Sans titre/de la série Monde sous pression (The World Under Pressure), 2009The COP17 UN Climate Conference will take place in Durban this year. While the conference’s outcome lies in the responsibility of delegates and politicians, culture and art should also be part of the platform, when delegates in Durban try to negotiate a follow-up to the Kyoto protocol.

The Goethe-Institut South Africa contributes to COP17 with Culture and Climate – a diverse programme of exhibitions, workshops, performances and concerts taking place at various locations in Durban and Johannesburg.

Ade Bantu and his band have been invited to perform on the stage of the Green Hub – where the municipality of Durban has created a space to celebrate during COP17.
