“The main aim of the conference is to provide a platform for mainly local authorities and relevant stakeholders in Kenya to deliberate on and identify entry points for sustainable local development as they deliver services to the Kenyan people.”
The Hard Rain DVD opened the conference. Delegates then requested Dylan’s live version of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" synched to the pictures to be shown at the start of proceedings each day of the conference.
Following Green Solutions Week, Nicholas Nzioka from the Environment Department took the Hard Rain display to schools and colleges in Machakos District.

I saw the exhibition on holiday in Cape Town in Kirstenbosch. Environmental issues in South Africa take a back seat, because we have seemingly more pressing issues like HIV, crime and poverty.
Due to this, I have also been very slack environmentally. Since I purchased the copy of the book I have committed myself to recycling properly, we are trying to grow some of our own produce, and I have replaced the light bulbs. Small start, I know, but we all have to start somewhere.
I did not find the book that grim due to the daily problems we face in Africa, but I do not hold much hope out for us changing the way we think in relation to national identities, boundaries, and the way we see "progress". However we can try, and that is what I intend to do.
Well done on a concise, informative, visual book and exhibition.

I came across the exhibition on a sunny day while out with my children in Edinburgh and was profoundly moved and dismayed by the images and text. The power of this exhibition in the setting of Princes Street Gardens was intense and made me feel both insignificant and empowered. I did not share these images with my children who were happily playing but it is they and future generations that should compel all of us to act, however insignificant we may feel.
