DOWNSHIFT MUSIC invites you to our launch event! A taste of what's to come for our one-day festival on August 3rd, this launch will feature two live music acts (unplugged) and a panel discussion with academics, activists and artists.

Music: Greek folk duo Υφάντρες (ifádres) and ecosystem-inspired harpists Helen Morrision & Georgina Richmond.

What's Downshift Music?
A Nipaluna/Hobart based organisation seeking to empower resilient community engagement with the climate crisis.

More about the Launch:
The July 6th event will be a test-run of the Downshift formula - pairing intimate, unamplified tiny-desk style performances with engaging panel discussions on climate-related topics (including collective action, preparation for a warmer world, and ecological grief).

Time: 3pm - 6pm
Venue: SOHO Arts community hall, 14 Weld St, South Hobart.
Door tickets: available upon arrival

This event is taking place on the stolen land of the Muwinina people - who did not survive the genocidal invasion of their homelands. We pay our respects to past elders and the warriors that fought for their country. We acknowledge the Palawa people as the present day custodians of Muwinina country and Nipaluna, the land also known as Hobart, and their staunch resistance and activism for over 220+ years. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
