There’s something gentle happening in Rio right now. The big statues and cable cars haven’t changed, but the space between them has: new low-impact trails, guides from the favelas, profits staying in the community.

It’s the opposite of the usual “destination” noise. And it makes me reflect—when Australians pack the Great Ocean Road or Noosa this summer, could we walk a little lighter, listen a little more, leave more behind than footprints? Rio’s showing it’s possible without losing the joy.

REGENERATION EXHIBITION now showing @ The Centre Beaudesert till October 22nd, featuring works by Twisted Murf. "Nature plays a big part in my work. I want the viewer to think about not only the native animals affected by the fire but also our domesticated animals. The pieces I've chosen for the show reflect this. As a lover of nature we have quite a few companion animals in our family. When the fires came getting ready to evacuate and thinking about where to go with all our pets was quite the challenge" You can view the rest of @twistedmurf pieces alongside with other artists a part of the Regeneration Exhibition at the Centre Beaudesert Tuesday- Friday 10am-4pm Saturday 10am-2pm #communityrecovery #communitycare  #creativecommunityrecovery #communityled #communityregeneration #community #artforchange #communityart #groupart #artrecovery #arttherapy #healingart #australianbushfires #givebacktocommunity #qldparks #regionalarts #ruralarts #bushfirerecovery #bushregeneration #bushfireregeneration #muralart #qldartists #australianartists #scenicrimart #goldcoastart #nationalbushfirerecoveryagency https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtIymaPTYx/?utm_medium=tumblr
