Also in the past i have been an Environmental Activist, blockading in The Otways, Water catchment forests of Victoria - www.oren.org.au - and Goolengook, East gippsland - www.eastgippsland.net -Helping out with Skill shares, running workshops, cooking for crew. Making flyer's for Fund raisers, Promoting for The Forest Freedom Festival, co-organizing an Art Auction for The Greens party and Performing street Theater shows, to bring awareness to the current environmental issues that need addressing.
Activism is apart of my life and art, i would like to put more emphasis on this. With the skills i have as an Artist and a B/A-of Creative Arts Industries qualification, the aim is to get Grants/Sponsorship/ Government Funding to produce politically Active Art projects.
Ie: Graffiti Workshops..world wide
Political Installations.
Touring Indigenous community Shows-shared Cultural development
The Dreamtime Festival
Theater shows in 'prescribed' Forests as Actions/with an Audience.
Just to name a few ideas...
Most of my friends are Activists of some kind, using Art, Music, Food, Radio, Film, Writing and Performance, these practices have all moved society in some way - politically charged or not...they change situations that need to be changed.
