Suitcase Rummage at Art Not Apart Festival – Saturday, 14 March 2015

Written by Jyoti Dambiec If you haven’t been to this, it’s great! In the past three years some of us have had vegan stalls, done chalk art, put up vegan paste-ups, and scattered vegan information about which proved very effective.  This year Animal ACTivism Collective had a friendly, low-key Vegan presence with a small suitcase display. I sold vegan activist stencil laminated prints and smaller photocopies to pop up anywhere as well as my ‘Flying Lady Ceramics’, including some of the sought after skull pottery. Local vegan artist, Patrick Duthie, also had his ‘Living With Monsters‘ book at the great discounted price of $20 and local vegan artist, Jana, …

Cowspiracy Movie Screening & Blackberry/Apple Crumble with Coconut Ice-cream – Fridays in January 2015

On the evenings of 15 and 23 January, groups of ten or so gathered at Jyoti’s house to watch the brilliant and just-released movie Cowspiracy with attendees enjoying a delicious dessert of Blackberry and Apple Crumble with home-made vegan Coconut ice-cream (The blackberries were came fresh from Jyoti’s organic Vegan garden). It is a powerful movie and a must see. It is an excellent one to show to non-vegan friends, especially if they are concerned about the environment.  It does not contain graphic images apart from one small 30 second scene which you know is coming and you will miss if you blink, and also two scenes of …

Stall at Art Not Apart Festival and Stenciling T-Shirts – 15 March 2014

Written by the AnimalACTivism Collective Stall On Saturday, 15 March, 2014,  the AnimalACTivism Collective and ACTVVS (now Vegan ACT) held a stall at the Art Not Apart Festival.  Thanks to Rowena, Jyoti and Dieter for making this happen. This was a worthwhile day promoting vegan living. Stenciling T-Shirts Creative, non-violent activism was one of the important ideas in the mind of some of us who started AAC. Wearing a vegan T-shirt is a great way to do outreach while we go about our daily lives. We have purchased some fabric ink to stencil some T-shirts and singlets. If you’d like to have a go at doing your own – contact Jyoti at activism@veganact.org.au

Written by Jyoti, Animal ACTivism Collective Liaison On Saturday 22 February a small group of us took vegan banners and attended the Refugee Action Committee’s vigil in Garema Place for Reza Berati, the Iranian refugee who was killed at Manus Island.  You can read more about Reza Berati here. Our presence at the vigil received intrigue and interest from the public. One lady came up to us and said that she didn’t know vegans were political and was so happy to see ‘us’ (vegans) there at the rally supporting refugees and being involved in social justice issues. Another person who chatted with us said a …
