We are the world’s real artists, we work for change not dollars, and we will be spreading the creative virus on February 12th 2012.

Stemming from Occupy Melbourne, the home of the ‘tent monsters meme’, this day is all about coming at things from different angles, playing with reality and having some fun in these very serious times.

All Occupiers, from all Occupations are encouraged to get creative.

VULTUREJAM ideas 4 creative activism

November 26, 2011 in Art, Call Out, Campaigning, Community, National

This is a call out to all you naughty ones and creative types out there who don’t like the way Harvey Norman are doing business. Investigations from campaign group Markets For Change have shown Harvey Norman are selling products that come from the destruction of Australia’s iconic native forests.  Habitat for threatened species and valuable carbon dense forests are being trashed, exported, made into furniture, flooring and imported back to Australia and to be sold.

We are collecting ideas for stencils, posters, stickers and paste-ups to show people the truth behind the brand. If you have any creative input please email your ideas here and we can put them up on this website. Check out the website to see some of the recent entries for ideas and inspiration. http://vulturejam.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/83/
