Earth Arts

Nurturing the role of creativity in transforming law and governance

The Australian Earth Laws Alliance believes that cultural change is a vital part of building Earth centred law, governance and ethics. Our Earth Arts Program and an Earth Arts Collective are an important part of our culture change work.

Our next major arts program will be held in 2022, in conjunction with our biennial Earth Laws Conference and 'Rights of Nature' Week 2022.
