Beyond the Frame: Floating Schools in Bangladesh

July 15 – September 15 | Neville Scarfe Lobby & Ponderosa Commons Lobby

Beyond the Frame is a photo and video exhibition which offers a critical perspective on the Climate and Nature Emergency, inviting us to look beyond mainstream climate discourse. In Bangladesh, the education system faces ongoing challenges due to climate impacts like cyclones and floods. Against the backdrop of these challenges, many children and adult learners attend schools in boats: Floating Schools. This exhibition highlights Bangladesh’s Floating Schools as a powerful response to educational needs in the face of the climate crisis.

Mahfida Tahniat, the exhibition’s creator, will be available to answer questions at the exhibition locations on the following Tuesdays: July 30, August 6, August 20, September 3 and September 10. On those dates, Mahfida will be at the Neville Scarfe Lobby location from 11 am to 12 pm and at the Ponderosa Commons Lobby location from 12 pm to 1 pm.
