Shell WILDLIE Tour - photo's requested in the next couple of days

category international | environment | event notice author Wednesday October 11, 2006 21:57author by máire ó gallimh, fadó.. - london rising tideauthor phone 00447774987516 Report this post to the editors

we are organising a counter tour to Shell's Wildlife Photographer of the year Exhibition to highlight the crass discrepancy between what shell say, effectively - (that they promote in good spirit cultural and environmental events) and what they do (inflict irrevocable devastion on communities worldwide) with the objective that the Natural History Museum will withdraw them from their pool of sponsorship.. and that ever growing numbers of people will see through the veneer of greenwash they constrew time and again.

Shell is the third largest oil company in the world. It is also the new sponsor of the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition.
Shell’s core - and growing - business is rooted in oil and gas production. It seems to have decided that pumping a tiny percentage of its profits into sponsoring places like the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London will divert your attention from this globally suicidal fact… which is hopefully where we the “London Rising Tide” come in, pointing a spotlight at the growing gulf between what they say (a language known as ‘greenwash’) and what they do. We run a campaign/exhibition called ‘Art Not Oil’. As part of it, we are working with other environmental groups to persuade the NHM and its visitors that Shell is an inappropriate partner for the Wildlife Photographer Competition. The campaign will include our own travelling photography exhibition aptly entitled “Shell’s Wild Lie” in October 2006 and beyond, it will be accompanied by speakers from Shell-affected communities in Mayo, the Niger Delta and South Africa. The tour will visit LARC in London on October 16th, Imperial College London 17th, Birmingham 19th & Manchester 20th. We request photographic contributions so please let your pictures tell the true story. Images could show affected wildlife and/or places or indeed creative suatainable alternatives for land use - such as the camp in Rossport earnestly exemplifies, be your own curator! As well some caption just to give a reference would be sound. You can email images to www.artnotoil.org.uk or www.londonrisingtide.org.uk and remember in order to print large enough images they’ll need quite a high resolution. We hope to print on fri afternoon. We will keep at it until Shell is no longer welcome in the NHM. We have recently been thinking that it'd be great to bring this tour around Ireland next year so have a think and hopefully with can talk to our comrades from Mayo next week. For more information please visit www.shelloiledwildlife.org.uk. Our thoughts are with ye in Mayo – neart libh don laethanta crua.
