Mattia captures Alan Stuart for French magazine Reporterre.

Alan Stuart is a 97-year-old church minister. On the 26th of November 2023 he was arrested for protesting climate “inaction” in a deliberate act of civil disobedience at the Port of Newcastle, along with more than 100 others. Grouping on kayaks, they blocked a few bulk carriers entering and exiting the port. His words after the arrest: “I’m doing this for my grandchildren and for future generations because I don’t want to leave them with a world full of increasingly severe and frequent national disasters because of climate change.”
