The onus of climate change reversal is not on the individual. It is on the governments and multinational corporations that have been responsible for the systems that allow climate change and the pollution of our soil, air, & waterways to continue to be a major threat to the lives of the working class.
Join Kaleidospace for dance performances and workshops exploring corporate imperialism and its roles in climate change, as well as the role of collective community-based action — from buy-nothing groups, to limiting food waste through community fridges, to community gardens — in creating alternative spaces.
For the first half of the day, participants will color in a replica of Kaleidospace member Mark Saldana’s mural in Travers Park, nearby, co-created with NICE. Stick around near the end of the day for a final performance in Travers Park. Participants were able to sign up by Friday, September 20, 6pm, to rehearse with Kaleidospace and take part in the performance at the end of the day.
