Life Friendly Residency with Yan Preston
25 July – 6 August
Open Studio: 5 & 6 August
Late Night Opening with the Artist: 5 August, 5pm - 7:30pm

Plus Life Friendly Events throughout the Summer

Chinese Arts Centre is delighted to announce the experimental ‘Life Friendly Project’ in collaboration with research consultancy Culture Probe, this summer. The Life Friendly Project attempts to explore how artists and art organisations can work in ways that have a positive (benign / restorative) impact on both human quality of life and on the natural world. This approach is in radical contrast to the low carbon economy eco-efficiency approach, which focuses on reducing negative impact. There is considerable evidence that eco-efficiency does not solve the climate change problem but only slows it down, and has other unintended negative consequences.

URGENT APPEAL FOR MORE SIGNATORIES - PETITION CLOSES FEBRUARY 10

FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE DEADLINE FEBRUARY 11

The reason for this urgency is the announcement of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Inquiry into the World Service Cuts. The deadline for submissions is February 11. This campaign intends to make a submission on February 11 which will include this petition.

The inquiry was precipitated by the announcement on January 26 that World Service will make16% budget cuts along with staff cuts of 25%, around 650 staff. Around 30m listeners worldwide will be lost.

This announcement received worldwide media coverage.

On January 27 we delivered to Peter Horrocks (Director of the World Service) an OPEN LETTER signed by top British celebrities, including Dame Judi Dench.

On January 30, The Sunday Times (UK) published a favourable opinion piece about our campaign.

We now appeal for your help as this is the last chance before the petition closes.

Thanks in anticipation.
