Earth Jam
Earth Jam is SA's music and arts festival for the planet.
On February 10th, South Australia’s art, music and environmental communities came together for Earth Jam: A celebration of their shared vision for a better future.
The energetic and action-packed night cultivated a space for people to engage with SA’s environmental community in so many different ways…
- Brilliant music from Zoë Fox and the Rocket Clocks, Druid Fluids, Bromham, Naomi Keyte, Tell Mama, Gallery One and the Bait Fridge.
- Stalls from 12 engaging environmental community organisations, enabling attendees to platform their passions.
- Enlivening speeches from five leaders in the environment space.
- Earth inspired art performances and installations from the Bait Fridge Collective.
- Roaming interviews with the crowd about their climate concerns and visions for the future, to be translated into advocacy.
- A beautiful open space with delicious food and drink for people to enjoy the evening.
All of these elements came together to create a beautiful, uplifting collective of people unified in the clear vision of a community coming together to care for people and the planet.
