ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The RONA18 National Exhibition is part of AELA’s Bi-Annual Rights of Nature Celebration, RONA18 – “Rights of Nature Australia 2018” – which has been designed to promote cultural engagement with the emerging, global, Rights of Nature movement, and to celebrate the Australian Peoples’ Tribunal for Community and Nature’s Rights, held on Saturday 27th October 2018 at Banco Court in Brisbane.

The Rights of Nature National Art Exhibition connects with the themes of the 2018 Peoples Tribunal, which examined the impact of industrial scale agriculture on the Rights of Nature and local communities.

The Exhibition featured works from artists investigating themes of agency, in relation to existing and future food production and distribution systems. These works revealed, reflected and critiqued the current flaws in the western legal system that are disabling us from making purposeful choices and taking action to support the transition to earth-centred governance.
