FREE Community SALA Exhibition in the Café Space, Ground Floor, Gawler Civic Centre

What to wear for my natural burial? The exhibition features Eco-Coffins and Shrouds decorated or created by participants in the Eco Coffin Project. These powerful personal life-affirming works of art and love raise questions about our mortality, sustainable death and raise community awareness of natural burial.

Climate change motivates us to live a more sustainable life but what about a sustainable death?
What is the impact on the environment of what happens to your body when you die?
Currently 70% of Australians are choosing cremation; burning non-renewable natural gas and emitting toxins. Many are buried in lawn cemeteries creating toxic landfill issues and a high carbon footprint. Is there a better way? The exhibition of eco-coffins and shrouds is the culmination of an arts-based, social change research project raising awareness and curiosity of natural burial in SA, the only state to have natural burial in its legislation!

FREE entry...All welcome.
