What happens when demands historically raised by grassroots movements are taken up by a leading actor of green capitalism? 

A leading Italian organic supermarket chain relaunched its “fair price” food campaign earlier this year. By asking what price should be paid for farmers’ work, and framing farmers as ‘custodians of the planet,’ it signals more than a simple ethical concern. It marks a political moment. by @thecontrapuntal

The Contrapuntal is delighted to invite you to the opening of our latest project, EverydayNile: Water, Energy, and Food Justice Along and Beyond the Nile River.

The exhibition presents photographic stories in those countries developed by photographers working with communities and researchers on issues ranging from water access and environmental change to food systems, livelihoods and the everyday realities of people living with the Nile.

The evening will also feature a panel discussion between researchers, photographers and project partners, reflecting on the process of bringing scientific research and visual storytelling together.

We will conclude with a reception offering a space for researchers, photographers, students, journalists and the audiences to meet, exchange ideas and continue the conversation.

Funded through The Journalism Science Alliance, a joint partnership led by The European Journalism Centre and Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and implemented with IHE Delft Institute for Water Education this project brings together photographers, researchers and project partners from across three Nile Basin countries – Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt – to examine how environmental and social changes are experienced by communities living along the river.

Date: Thursday 10 Sep 2026, 18:00 - 21:00
Location: Atrium, International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague
Free entrance!

Meet our speakers for Land, Life, & Liberation!

The Contrapuntal is delighted to host scholars working on South Asia, at Energiekas in The Hague on 30th August 2026. The evening is intentioned to build on conversations around the politics of occupation and militarism, and how it is produced and reproduced through materiality and discourse. We invite everyone to think of our struggles as interconnected and occupation as an impendiment to imagining socio-ecologically just futures for our cities and people everywhere. 

note: the venue is not wheelchair accessible. taken in EnergieKas by @thecontrapuntal
