We must all do our bit, and this year Roy Forward way is to run a course on the way artists around the world are working to increase people's awareness of the need to act for global survival. It is an evening course at the ANU.
Art and Global Survival 6–8pm on 8 Tuesdays $275
Nothing outranks human survival, but only now is it in art. Not just in Greens’ posters and tree-huggers’ performance pieces either. The facts of overpopulation, famine, water shortage and global warming are hitting home. Still to come is the tsunami of refugees and boat people. Artists are rising to the challenge for change.
