Introducing BridgeInitiative, the non-profit that's putting Alaskan landscapes on billboards around the country.
In July 2018, the artist David Benjamin Sherry went to Alaska to photograph landscapes at risk of disappearing, including the LeConte Glacier, a looming, 21-mile-wide slab of turquoise ice that is rapidly retreating due to climate change. "Neither words nor pictures can really convey the experience of standing in front of LeConte Glacier," Sherry says. "We must take action immediately, all of us—today, we have no time left.
A little over a year later, one of Sherry's striking photographs of the glacier appeared on a billboard on Lafayette Street in New York City, paired with the words "Warming Ahead." While the pun suggests a certain lightheartedness, the image itself is a gut punch. A similar billboard, with the words "Warming Signal" prominently displayed, just went up in Omaha, Nebraska. Others will continue to pop up in various locations as we get closer to the 2020 election.
