What We Leave Behind
Your ‘umble scribe’s recent stay in Sydney coincided with the Sydney Festival, a major arts festival held for three weeks in January every year since its inception in 1977.
On my penultimate day in Australia your correspondent had arranged to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and arrived rather early. While waiting to rendezvous, a volunteer for Cave Urban outside a gazebo at Tallawoladah Lawn persuaded yours truly to take part in What We Leave Behind, a participatory event involving lots of bamboo.
Members of the public were invited to leave messages of hope for the planet on strips of bamboo which are being woven into a structure.
My positive message: “Let homo sapiens finally live up to its Latin species name“.
