Des possibilités de renforcer la résilience
No full textDrylands make up about 43 percent of the region’s land surface, account for about 75 percent of the area used for agriculture, and are home to about 50 percent of the population, including many poor. Involving complex interactions among many factors, vulnerability in drylands is rising, jeopardizing the livelihood for of millions.D’ici 2030, le nombre d’habitants des zones arides de l’Afrique de l’Est et de
l’Ouest devrait augmenter de 65 à 80 % (selon les scénarios de fécondité). Au
cours de la même période, le changement climatique pourrait provoquer une
expansion des zones classées « arides » allant, dans certains scénarios, jusqu’à
20 % pour l’ensemble de la région, et encore plus dans certains pays (carte 0.2.).
Cela placerait davantage de personnes dans des conditions encore plus

KUBA: Kutlag Ataman
No full textKÜBA reveals the lives of forty residents in one of Istanbul's most impenetrable ghettos. Their remarkable stories are told across forty separate films, shown on old televisions dispersed throughout Court 1 of Southampton’s magnificent former Magistrates’ Courts. Taking a seat in front of one film to the next, you can meet each resident face to face - from Guler the wife hiding terrible secrets, to Soner the film buff who loves 'Notting Hill' or Erol the loner, fascinated by birds but caught in a spiral of violence. Set against the gravitas of the court room, these tales of pain, suffering, humour and compassion gain even greater significance.Turner Prize-nominated artist and film-maker Kutlug Ataman spent a year exploring KÜBA, an area of makeshift hut dwellings made of cheap materials, scrap metal and soil, squeezed in the midst of Istanbul’s low-income suburban blocks. KÜBA is home to non-conformists of diverse ethnicity, religion and political persuasion, united in their defiant resistance of state control. Despite the extreme poverty of their surroundings, the residents of KÜBA are bound by a web of community values that embrace personal freedom and mutual tolerance. A thief from KÜBA will never steal from his neighbours nor will a murderer harm them. Children are precious and valued, food is common property and a family will not be allowed to go without.Through the stories of each resident, visitors can build a picture of KÜBA both as a place, and a state of mind. For living in KÜBA – above all else – defines each inhabitant’s sense of identity, regardless of background or belief. If you’re from KÜBA, then that is enough.KÜBA first appeared in Pittsburgh in 2004, winning the prestigious Carnegie Prize. Having since travelled to Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium and within the UK, its global journey concludes in Southampton. KÜBA is the first exhibition to take place in Southampton’s former Magistrates’ Courts, which have remained mostly closed to the public since the 1990s. The Courts are part of the Grade II Listed Civic Centre, built between 1930 and 1936. All original court furniture is utilised within the exhibition<br/
