Ecological Footprint

20 JULY 2007:

two exhibitions opening

at the Serpentine Community Gallery

this Friday from 6pm -

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...

The opening,

just the start of an evening of art,

film and activism in North Lismore,

will include performances by the

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.
