Rise and Resist: Melbourne Launch with Dumbo Feather
We’re excited to be bringing activist, writer and Vogue Australia’s sustainability editor, Clare Press, to Dumbo Feather HQ for the official Melbourne book launch of Rise and Resist.
Rise & Resist takes a wild trip through the new activism sweeping the world. The political march is back in a big way, as communities rally to build movements for environmental and social justice. But today’s context calls for increasingly creative strategies to make our voices heard. Crossing the globe, Clare Press meets passionate change-makers who believe in the power of the positive. From eco warriors and zero wasters to knitting nannas, introvert craftivists to intersectional feminists, they’re all up for a revolution of sorts. Are you? Join Clare as she tracks the formation of a new counterculture, united by a grand purpose: to rethink how we live today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.
Gather over drinks and nibbles, toast to Clare and the book, and then sit down for a Dumbo Feather conversation with Clare, followed by questions from the audience.
There are two ticketing options:
- Event + signed copy of Clare’s book = $35
- Event only = $20
