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, and that's why we have a strong Earth Arts Program and an Earth Arts Collective.

RONA18 - Celebrating the Rights of Nature

In 2018, AELA's Earth Arts Team is hosting "RONA18" an amazing series of connected events, promoting, educating and celebrating the Rights of Nature.

RONA18 has been designed to promote cultural engagement with the emerging, global, Rights of Nature movement, and to celebrate the Australia Peoples Tribunal for Community and Nature’s Rights, which is being held on Saturday 27th October 2018 in Brisbane.  AELA’s intention is to blend the creative re-interpretation of environmental governance with cultural responses to the rights of the natural world to exist, thrive and evolve. Find out more about the 2018 Australian Peoples Tribunal.

  • NATIONAL EXHIBITION - The National Exhibition will run from October 23-28 in Brisbane, in conjunction with AELA’s week of exploring and celebrating the Rights of Nature. Visit this website for all the information, and see the RONA18 poster for event details.
  • REGIONAL EVENTS  - A number of communities are hosting Rights of Nature arts events and gatherings, as part of RONA18.  Visit the "Regional Response" page here.
