Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence

Friday 9:00am to 10:00am
Why are we so behind on greening our cities and suburbs? What happened to communities, where truly no one is left behind? Where is justice for communities that have been abandoned? Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence, talks to and with communities, about how we can learn to share and care for each other and our beloved planet.

The Image reads Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence. The letters are cut out from from magazines. There are more magazine cut outs of Kookaburra's and an Owl with flowers groing out of their heads in a psychadelic fashion. The background is cardboard spray painted with orange and green. There are cut outs of bush fires and an 'idealic' suburban lawn.

About Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence

Have you noticed that new suburbs are more car dependant, less green, less community orientated and painfully bland? Do you spend time on the internet dreaming of a future home in a beautiful green neighbourhood? Things don't seem to be changing, do they? Infact, that dream is turning out to be difficult to reach.

Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence asks why are things like this and what can we do about it? Listen to a variety of people and communities who are doing something to change this. 

We have an overabundance of resources including food and housing. We can redesign our urban environments to cater to most of our needs within 15 a minute walking distance from our homes. We need to start kicking fences and talking to our neighbours. If we don't, nothing will change. 

It's been done before, many times throughout human history and the oldest human society that has been doing it, is here where we live. The Original First Nations people had it all figured out but they weren't governed by greed. So we must also learn from them and support them in their struggle.

Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence is a show and a mantra about taking our urban environments back into the hands of the people to build a better world together!
