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.
