Ecological Footprint

20 JULY 2007:

two exhibitions opening

at the Serpentine Community Gallery

this Friday from 6pm -

Ecological Footprint

and

It Is Political

 -  An Artist's Commentary

  These exhibitions – are celebrations of nature,

walking the talk, climate justice,

growing strong communities,

reducing ecological footprints,

endorsing clean and renewable...

and, well, you get the idea.

The opening,

just the start of an evening of art,

film and activism in North Lismore,

 will include performances by the

Urban Poetry Terrorist,

 the infamous, scone-eating CWA Ladies

and much more.

Then there’s a film event at

20,000 Cows Restaurant just up the road.

Food For Thought will screen three films

- Irati Wanti, Living Country and the short version

of Bradbury’s Hard Rain -

exploring the issues of uranium mining and the nuclear industry in Australia.

Hope and mother Valerie Thompson have joined the Cycle Against the Nuclear Cycle (CANC) ride from Rockhampton in central Queensland all the way to Canberra to raise awareness of the nuclear power threat in this wide, uranium-rich land. Hope is concerned – both about the toxic legacy and the long distance. Luckily there’s two of them to pedal...

Link to full story:

The evening, combining both events and venues, will be hosted by three environmental activists –

Heidi Chappelow, Marie Reilly and Lazuli Kubenk.
