The Global 'Walk of Water' Exhibition Showcases Stunning Glacier Photography

Global 'Walk of Water' Exhibition



In an urgent call for climate action, the international exhibition 'Walk of Water' is set to debut this July in key cities: Almaty, Delft, and Manila. This remarkable showcase features breathtaking photographs of glaciers, emphasizing the dual themes of beauty and the peril these icy giants face due to climate change.

As we approach a future where two-thirds of the planet’s glaciers may disappear by 2100, this exhibition offers an awe-inspiring visual journey into the melting worlds of ice. It's not just a display of art but a poignant reminder of the essential stories of water, innovative local solutions, and the immediate need for global action.

Organized by German non-profit Onewater and supported by renowned organizations including UNESCO's World Water Assessment Programme, the MPB, the Asian Development Bank, and the city of Burghausen, the 'Walk of Water' 2025 is a collective effort featuring acclaimed artists. This includes World Photography Award winners and National Geographic explorers, whose evocative images span the globe—from majestic Alpine peaks to Himalayan communities and polar regions.

Their powerful visuals reveal more than just the stark reality of receding glaciers. They capture the vibrant water festivals, indigenous adaptation strategies, and the deep cultural connections that communities maintain with these endangered landscapes, all at risk from increasing global temperatures.

The message of the exhibition is clear: the loss of glaciers contributes to rising sea levels, threatens drinking water supplies and food production, and could result in the extinction of unique plants, animals, and ecosystems. This environmental crisis is also a cultural one, as the livelihoods and heritage of countless communities are intertwined with these glacial formations.

Frantisek Ficek, Senior Creator at Onewater, articulates the urgency of this exhibition: "Through these powerful visual narratives, we become firsthand witnesses to the challenges facing Earth’s cryosphere, alongside the rich cultural heritage related to water and ice. It serves as a vital warning for the urgent preservation of our glaciers and mountains. We must cherish them, and the people and nature that inhabit these regions, while there is still time."

The exhibition not only seeks to provide a platform for these stunning photographs but also aspires to spark dialogue and inspire action on climate change. For those interested in experiencing the exhibition or showcasing it in their own communities, additional information can be found on the official websites: onewater.blue and walkofwater.org.

As the world leans into the future, the 'Walk of Water' exhibition stands as a powerful reminder of both the fragility and beauty of our planet’s glaciers, encouraging all to engage in the protection of these vital resources before they melt away forever.
