Presented in partnership with Perth Festival, young people are invited to creatively reflect and respond to themes of climate emergency through witnessing the exhibition Polarity: Fire & Ice on display at Fremantle Arts Centre.

Guided by contributing visual and sound artist Mei Swan Lim, participants will engage in truth-telling and advocacy while developing their own arts practice, ideas and stories.

This program has been made possible through support from Perth Festival’s Connect: Creative Learning department.

This free event is presented as part of the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival, presented by Propel Youth Arts WA. KickstART is supported by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, and the City of Perth.
