Description

Pippa Bailey has slow travel commuted from Australia to Europe 3 times for work to explore how to step out of the usual paths. This values other countries, bioregions and cultures that we usually fly over.

Culture is increasingly being built into ambitious tourism targets. This session aims to share stories and explore alternatives to a destructive travel industry with a serious growth agenda without much regard for resource use.

This conversation will explore the challenges for culture of meeting transport emission reduction targets and ideas for positive change.

We are arts and cultural workers deeply concerned with taking action on the converging planetary climate and ecological crises. As you will be aware, humanity faces the combined catastrophes of: climate breakdown, mass extinction of vital biodiversity and the rapid degradation of critical ecosystems. Australia is at the forefront of these crises. Alongside real zero carbon emission targets, shortening supply chains and regeneration agendas; we believe that artists and the cultural sector must take a leading role in social transition to mitigate further devastation, adapt to a warming climate and converging crises. Accelerated action is urgently needed.

We believe it is vitally important that our approach is uniquely Australian to respect and forefront the great diversity of First Nations people across Australia whose 65,000 years+ of continuous culture honours a unique relationship and responsibility for Country. There are many cultural actors around the world to align with and we believe these allegiances will be stronger if we start by reconciling with our past, following First Nations people's lead, consolidating relationships and action in our places, on this unceded land.

Building Imagination and using creative skills we can help lead transition to a liveable future.

Co-convened by Pippa Bailey and CLIMARTE with support from Arts Front we meet monthly online to generate action and support people engaged in this work.
