350: A Day of Art and Action
We’d like to invite you to participate in our free community festival on
Saturday October 24th as part of the global 350 Day of Action on
climate change! It will take place from 10 am to 1pm at the Coburg
Concert Hall at Moreland Civic Centre, 90 Bell St on Saturday 24th
October. It should be really fun!
Organised by Climate Action Moreland, Moreland Energy Foundation, Moreland City Council and CERES.
Highlights include:
1) A fantastic VEGETABLE SCULPTURE of 350 pieces of locally grown fruit
and vegetables!
We’ll assemble 350 pieces of home and locally grown fruit and vegies
into an exciting and unsual artist directed sculpture. Home grown vegetables are a key part of the transition to a sustainble future and we want to take this message to the world!
We’ll put the 350 logo alongside and send photos and timelapse of our sculpture to the 350 international media stream. It will join hundreds of other innovative images from people worldwide promoting the number 350 as the safe upper limit of CO2 in the atmosphere for our climate.
2) Sound sculptures by internationally acclaimed artists Ros Bandt and
Albert Mishriki
3) Free hour long bike maintainence workshop from Human Powered Cycles
4) An inspiring talk on how we can transition to below zero emissions
from Beyond Zero Emissions
5) A display of artworks about 350 by school students.
6) Climate activism, sustainability and community related stalls!
Tea, coffee and food provided!
For the Concert Hall, go around the back of Moreland Civic Centre and
enter off Urquhart St. Come along for a great fun morning.
If you can bring produce, please RVSP so we can get approximate
numbers of vegetables attending! Tell us that you’re coming and how
many pieces you expect to bring. Please email
ellenmroberts@yahoo.com.au
Thanks and we looking forward to seeing you there!
