Disability Day 2024 - artwork by Renay Barker-Mulholland

Catch 12 hours of programming on Tuesday 3 December for International Day of People with Disability. This year’s theme is EMBODIED SOLIDARITIES. How can we better practice solidarity with each other as fellow disabled people of different backgrounds and abilities, locally and across borders, at a time in humankind’s existence where mass-disabling violence is increasing? How can non-disabled people better practice solidarity with us? Listen in as we reflect and explore through conversation, music, and more. Check out all the details here.

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.

Why are we so behind on greening our cities and suburbs? What happened to communities, where truly no one is left behind? Where is justice for communities that have been abandoned? Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence, talks to and with communities, about how we can learn to share and care for each other and our beloved planet.
