Following this an interview with David Boarder Giles (See Radical Australia interview!), an urban anthropologist with Deakin University with an interest in mutual aid, housing justice, food justice and grassroots organing. We discuss the concept and book by Henry Lefebvre, The Right to the City and how this ethos plays out in housing justice. We then discuss his research into food justice with Food Not Bombs Seatle and the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest in Seatle, The CHOP.

Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence! (Short Sting) by Tilde Joy and Amy Aednat Ciara

 

The Image reads Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence. The letters are cut out from from magazines. There are more magazine cut outs of Kookaburra's and an Owl with flowers groing out of their heads in a psychadelic fashion. The background is cardboard spray painted with orange and green. There are cut outs of bush fires and an 'idealic' suburban lawn.
Friday 9:00am to 10:00am
Soulless buildings, scorching roads and poisoned gardens. All built on the graves of first nations folk, animals and plants. YUP, we’re living the dream alright! Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence, build communities and love our planet!
