The Federal Government has recently approved ‘relocation’ of the substantial Grey Headed Flying Fox colony, which currently roosts in the Sydney Botanical Gardens. The intention to move these bats, who are already under severe stress from loss of habitat, has raised vital questions around the clash of environmental and cultural values.
We live in an era of widespread environmental ill-health that requires urgent remedying. The old polarised adage of ‘one or the other’ no longer suffices: we now need multiple solutions. Natalie Jeremijenko’s New York based ‘X-Clinic’ project has rolled out projects that do just this – provide win-win situations for both society and the urban environment. The project draws upon established ‘’ methods whereby ‘impatients’ (those too impatient to wait for others to make environmental change) join a design process to work towards improved environmental outcomes.
Supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council and QUT Creative Industries, ArtLab is a two-year exploration by a multidisciplinary team, working with environmental research and “radical creative processes” through a series of place specific labs – with the next lab being presented in Sydney in November.
The Sydney Lab will incorporate a ten-day creative development period including stakeholder meetings and presentations where locals are invited to explore ecosystem services that could be lost along with the bats, including broad scale native tree pollination and the efficient re-seeding of native forests. Outcomes will be shown at UTS Gallery in Ultimo (Nov 30h-11th Dec), at the PDC 2010 Conference at UTS (Npv. 30th), and in selected public events (t.b.c.).
