Fossil Free Fest

Antenna is a New Orleans-based organization committed to being a vital participant in the life of the city through the creation and support of artist- and writer-driven programs. In its role as a resource for creative practitioners and a welcoming entry point into the arts for New Orleans audiences, Antenna works to incite thoughtful cultural production, especially creative endeavors with transformative approaches to effecting social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.

In New Orleans, we know that times of transition are best met with community and celebration. Our society’s transition from the Fossil Fuel Era is no different. Timed to precede the Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival Presented by Shell, Fossil Free Festival will unite community for one week with art, food, music, film screenings, and workshops, carving out a dedicated and open space for us to dig deep into the ethics and complexities of funding art and education with fossil fuel money and to imagine a #FossilFreeCulture.
