Holy Cow -Can art save our world?

Posted on January 23, 2020 by

Holy Cow final poster Foz

Animal agriculture, especially the massive impact of beef on our climate.  I was surprised that there was nearly no action taken by policy makers or a substantial political campaign to raise awareness. I had to do something! felt helpless and realised I didn’t know how to talk about it without becoming too excited or angry.. I had to find ways to share these facts and feelings but especially finding way…s to do it without being too dry and didactic.

This brought me to question if Art can actually affect change in our behavior and habits.
So what do you think?

I invite you to come and share this mix bag of live performance, music, illustrations, interviews, unexpected interventions (that’s for your Foz) and a quiz with a PRIZE!

In October 2018 I had the opportunity to join a group of internationals on a build, harvesting and learning camp in Palestine organised by ICAHD (the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions) and Torat Tzedek, an Israeli NGO run by Rabbi Arik Ascherman. The group was made up of people from the UK, Germany, Italy, Finland, Australia and the USA. We spent four days helping to build a community centre in the village of Bardala, in the north of the Jordan Valley; three days in Awarta, near Nablus, helping with the olive harvest and staying with a wonderful and hospitable family. The last very intensive four days were based in Bethlehem, with trips to Ramallah, Jerusalem, Hebron, the Negev, Tel Aviv and Jaffa.

Do you want to be fitter and healthier? The community run Friday Fitness – Hollingdean class might be for you. Karen says: “5 years ago I had high blood sugar levels and a 50% chance of becoming diabetic. Since joining this class and walking regularly my levels are normal and I feel much better.”

Why not try this friendly fitness class and see if you can improve your health? We all know regular activity is good for you but motivating yourself can be hard. You can go at your own pace and the group welcomes anyone – even if you can only manage doing some of the exercises in a chair. Fridays 9.30-10.30 Hollingdean Community Centre.
