Handwriting the Constitution

Estuary 2021 is the second edition of the large-scale arts festival that celebrates the lives, landscapes and histories of the spectacular Thames Estuary.A mix of large scale and intimate visual art, literature, music and film, the festival celebrates culture, creativity, recovery and renewal. Alongside an online discussion and events programme, the physical programme will explore and respond to powerful themes resonant to the Estuary, from the climate, to rebellion and imperial legacy.  Re-framed in light of Covid-19, the festival invites visitors to take an epic walk along the stunning coastline of South Essex and North Kent encountering contemporary artworks and performance within the estuary landscape, historic sites and coastal towns.Estuary 2021 is led by a partnership between estuary-based arts organisations, Metal (South Essex) and Cement Fields (North Kent).www.estuaryfestival.com@EstuaryFestival

Estuary 2021

Introduced by 'Handwriting the Constitution': Gathering online to handwrite for the first time the Universal Declaration of Climate Rights.

<a href="https://www.estuaryfestival.com/event/detail/handwriting-the-constitution.html#" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Handwriting the Constitution</a> is a unique social art collaboration project between conceptual artist Morgan O’Hara, student environmentalist Leonard Alf and Estuary 2021. Founded by O’Hara in 2017, the project promotes principles of social and civic solidarity that help citizens of all nations and political views deepen their knowledge of their inherent rights and of the laws upholding those rights. It has been identified as activism for introverts.This online event, taking approximately two hours, will be the first write-through of a new original document – The Universal Declaration of Climate Rights (UDCR) – drafted by Leonard Alf. The document frames environmental rights from a non-human perspective, upholding the intrinsic value of landscapes, ecosystems, sentient and non-sentient species, and a greenhouse-gas-stable atmosphere, prior to considerations of their utilitarian worth to the human societies dependent upon them. PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR COPY OF THE DOCUMENT PRIOR TO THE SESSION: The text of the UDCR can be found here: https://leonardalf.com/udcr/You will need a pen, paper and a copy of the document before the session begins.Participation is via Zoom - the link and password will be emailed to attendees one hour before the event begins.Introduced by HANDWRITING THE CONSTITUTION: A social art practice begun in January 2017Organised by Morgan O'Hara and Leonard Alf in partnership with Metal.
