EarthSonic Iceland Launch: Music, Climate Action and Change
Date: Wednesday 6th November, 2024
Location: Austurstræti 5, 101 Reykjavík
Time: 16:00 - 17:30 (followed by drinks and snacks)
Music has a power unlike any other to unite people around making change. The science is there, but people are not engaging. New music movements aim to inspire action and systemic change. Whether it be working with the sounds of nature, or using natural resources to make music - these music initiatives aim to do just that. Hear from a range of music projects and organisations who are telling the story of our planet and climate change, and those affected by it across the world and why it’s important and why it has to be told now. Time is running out and we call on music to be the answer.
