Green week playlist

 Green theme week

Art has always involved Activism

Shallal has always wanted to show a better way for us to be together and now we can't keep silence about our systems ( which need to change now) and the planet which is our home. (People who are vulnerable are often the worst and first affected.)


Playlist

This is a rather random selection which doesn't have Einaudi's Elegy for the Arctic, which is on an older playlist.

I've enjoyed listening to some great 'oldies' and finding the new work at the end.

 Culture Declares Emergency

August 28th sees a Culture Declares Emergency banner drop - there will be one on our door at Shallal Studio Krowji.

 Everyone is invited to join in with write/create - Letters to Power 

https://www.letterstotheearth.com/letters-to-power 

In Shallal -join in with Green Art and next week its Doughnuts and Circles.

Doughnut Economics, Circular economies...and anyone with Easy Read copy for any of these please get in touch.


JoL's suggestion of Greensleeves...

Macaco, one of Spain's most popular rock groups, produced this video in collaboration with National Geographic to raise awareness for the environment.

Letters to Power is a call to everyone it follows on from Letters to the Earth


wind down

positive note...what we love..

my search lead me here, look forward to working with these compositions

to listen to at home



Until we are out of this crisis we need to maintain our focus, 

and harness the voice of the arts for positive change.

eg. BALTIC SEA FESTIVAL

Interesting...https://www.berwaldhallen.se/en/about-baltic-sea-festival/

”Our primary interest is to present the very best musical and artistic products

 from the Baltic Sea region. The second aspect is to bring emerging phenomena 

and ensembles to the forefront. 

The third aspect is political and environmental. 

I’m not so naïve that I believe that classical musicians will be able to save the Baltic Sea from environmental abuse. 

But I do believe that our chances to improve the situation will be much greater 

if we contribute to raising the general consciousness, 

by permeating the festival with an ecological theme.” Esa-Pekka Salonen, Baltic Sea Festival Artistic Director.
