Is This Planet Earth's Dying Century?

LONDON - Oct. 27, 2021 - PRLog -- As a part of her solo exhibition The Lost Planet at the Unit X art space in London, philanthropist and artist Natalia Kapchuk hosts a panel discussion "Is This Planet Earth's Dying Century?" on 19 October 2021, with the informational support of FprBuro Communications Agency. Among the guest speakers and experts were former Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Politician Barry Gardiner MP, Director of The Royal Geographical Society Professor Joe Smith, Director of Philanthropy at Earthwatch Europe Dr. Neil Bailey, and Assistant Director of Plastic Oceans Europe Juan Castaño Vilas. The moderator for the panel was TV presenter and BBC journalist, Samantha Simmonds.

The panel discussion spoke to the pressing problems plaguing the Earth as exemplified by heightened media awareness due to environmental calamities that have seen an increase in recent years. The panelist expounded on a range of topics that include:

• Pollution
• Global warming
• Waste disposal
• Deforestation
• The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference
• The role of China
• Ozone layer depletion
• Loss of biodiversity

and many more.

The event took place ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, located this year in Glasgow, Scotland. The upcoming summit brings together member countries in order to tackle the global priority of controlling climate change and its aftereffects. The dialogue at The Lost Planet exhibition echoes the topics that will be addressed at the COP26 gathering.

Ahead of the discussion Natalia Kapchuk stated:

"My hope for this discussion is to enforce in all the notion that solving the world's problems has to come from a cooperative level. With the collective help and participation of communities, non-profit organizations, global companies, and governments alike, we can make a drastic impact in the fight for this planet and generations to come."

As an eco-activist and artist who combines different media and materials, Natalia Kapchuk uses her artworks to shed light on such complex issues that face the planet, while evoking a mental shift in the viewer to think deeper toward their everyday habits. Located at the breathtaking Unit X art space in London, the environmentally focused works of The Lost Planet exhibition acted as the backdrop for the event, extending the conversation of the role of art and awareness.

In 2022, selected artworks from The Lost Planet series will be displayed at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art - CICA Museum, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
