Connect with Oxfordshire's creatives to swap seeds and ideas over a free community meal as part of Great Big Green Week, the UK's largest celebration of community action to protect nature and tackle climate change.We'll explore Tetiten Swarane Tandur: Hear the Seeds Sing, an exhibition that reflects on the Cowongan tradition, once commonly performed in Java, Indonesia. During drought seasons, local villagers would pray to Dewi Sri, the Goddess of rice and fertility, for rain.
Explore themes of climate justice, land ownership and food security at this gathering of creatives, artists and activists, in collaboration with Fusion Arts, Soboman Artspace 219, and #ClimateActionOxfordshire. Bring your thoughts and seeds and anything else you would like to share, or come along to listen, experience a sense of community and connect with local creatives. We look forward to welcoming you.
Who are we?
Green Arts Oxfordshire Network (GAON) unites Oxfordshire’s artists and cultural organisations in their work to tackle the climate & ecological emergency. We believe that a better future is possible, and that we as cultural leaders need to create the change we want to see in the world.
Who is this for?
Both professional and hobbyist creatives of all kinds, (including gardeners, writers, artists, performers, curators, musicians, photographers and more) are invited to join this community gathering and exchange free-flowing ideas. You do not need to already be creating 'green' artwork to join the conversation!
Accessibility
This gathering will be in Fusion Arts space at 95 Gloucester Green. The space is on the ground floor with stepfree access, and an accessible toilet on the same floor.
Getting there
We've put together some information that we hope will help you to reduce emissions and frustrations when visiting museums, theatres and arts venues in Oxford city centre, perhaps even make your journey part of the fun! Take a look at our at-a-glance guide at the bottom of the Eventbrite page.
