For Nature Festival 2022, The Mill presents a new 6-week exhibition that celebrates the role of art as activism in the context of climate crisis and various political issues. The exhibition features poster art from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC), historical works from the FUMA collection, alongside contributions from local activists.

We invite the general public, young people, artists and creatives to contribute to a community poster wall as part of the exhibition. A poster making station with materials will be a permanent feature of the exhibition, with audiences invited to create a poster and add it to the wall. Contributing artists can respond to the theme ‘The World Needs Us, We Need the World’. 

A free school holidays workshop (Tuesday, October 11) will invite young people and their families to create and contribute to the exhibition.

Call-out for contributions:

We invite you to contribute a poster to the exhibition to be included in the community poster wall. Flex your creative muscles and design something meaningful and authentic that responds to the theme of the exhibition ‘The World Needs Us, We Need the World’. See examples from AYCC below!

Artworks must be:

  • A3 or smaller

  • Able to be pinned to the wall
