The Sea Nomads exhibit displayed indigenous practices that are a part of the Nomads lifestyle. The Nomads are at risk of being affected by climate change as it  'may adversely affect hunting, trapping and fishing.' This exhibition was part of the reason I chose to do a film on Jamie Craggs and the Horniman Museum. James Morgan the photographer captured intricate components of this particular society. It was a more recent project that displayed the way this societies fishing practices using explosives destroys the environment they rely on for food and their homes. I thought of this exhibition when starting my project because it related to issues of climate change and the idea of the Anthropocene. Humans have made a large contribution to the worlds ecological crisis, which will impact humans in the long term similar to the Nomads. During the interview with Jame Craggs my intention was to ask about the Horniman charity and the option visitors and members have to donate to projects such as Project Coral. Finding out the impact that donations and receiving feedback from the public make, was a good way of showing how humans can help causes to do with climate change rather than contributing to it.
