Update Oct 27th
Supporters of Bristol Ecoshow and others joined in a walk to highlight to threat to Colliter's Brook in South Bristol from the proposed South Bristol Link Road earlier in October. What we found was life-enhancing nature. It made us question what development means.
We're having an ongoing debate on the role of art in the ecoshow process. Probably, we're heading for something which is more accessible, less Art with a capital 'A', art which is more in service of social and spiritual goals. Is art mainly celebratory or can it be transformational? Should we end in one big ecoshow or have smaller eco shows in green spaces which matter to people? Does our vision fire us up to lead people in a certain direction, or should we, with more humily, have a dialogue with fellow residents of neighbourhoods we're in and work out a common path? If these things matter to you also, join us!
