WAMU+NET is delighted to present “Acque Fragili. Cronache di un clima che cambia" (Fragile Waters: Chronicles of a Changing Climate), a travelling photography exhibition exploring the effects of climate change and water scarcity. It’s set to open next week in Trento, hosted by the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento.
How is climate change reshaping our relationship with water? And what can photography teach us about the challenges ahead?
Through the universal language of photography, the exhibition invites visitors and local schools to reflect on water as a vital resource and the urgent need to protect it through sustainable management.
The photographs are drawn from the international World Water Day Photo Contest, organised by Lions Acqua per la Vita MD108 and Lions Club Seregno AID in cooperation with UN-Water.
The exhibition forms part of the twelfth edition of Festivalmeteorologia 2026, which takes place in Rovereto from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 November 2026. The theme chosen to explore the link between weather, climate, historical memory, scientific progress and future challenges is ‘Weather through the ages. Weather, Climate and History”. Festivalmeteorologia 2026 is organised by the University of Trento, the Italian Association of Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology (Aisam), Rovereto Town Council and the Rovereto Civic Museum Foundation, under the scientific direction of Dino Zardi, Aisam representative and Professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Trento.
We would like to thank the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento, for hosting the exhibition at Palazzo Trentini, its prestigious headquarters.
The opening will take place on 17 November at 11.00 a.m.
