The article focuses on Norwegian pupils’ negotiations of meaning in images of social inequality in A World at Stake, a circulating museum exhibition in Denmark, Norway and Sweden that addressed the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals. More specifically, the article focuses on the pupils’ engagement with two images in the exhibition. By investigating how the pupils negotiated the meaning of those images, the authors demonstrate some of the ways in which the pupils’ reported engagement and responses had the potential to foster critical debate relating to the North–South divide in terms of poverty and affluence. Drawing on critical visual methodology, the authors discuss their findings of how the pupils used their experiences to make sense of the images, situate their social identities within a globally and socially unjust world, and, by implication, the potential for two images to inspire them to reflect on their roles and responsibilities in the wider world. The authors conclude that although the pupils’ social identities to varying degrees were mobilized, AWAS spurred engagement and reflections that helped the authors to understand how the pupils saw themselves, their roles and their responsibilities beyond the Global North
