Fossil Free Perth Arts Festivals this month

Posted on: Sat 6 Jan 2024

Perth’s two biggest arts festivals have cut ties with WA’s two biggest polluters. Fringe World has ended its partnership with Woodside, following the decision by Perth Festival last year to end its Chevron partnership. This means a ‘fossil free’ festival season this month, after a five year campaign by members of the WA arts community. Nicky Page speaks with Anthony Collins from Fossil Free Arts WA about how they did it.
