Multi-talented artist Charlotte Watson put out a call through social media to peacefully protest the imminent extinction of the Black-throated finch due to the approval of the Adani Coal Mine in QLD.
“The Black-throated finch is an endangered bird now found in small populations in Queensland. One of these fragile populations is currently under threat from the proposed Adani Coal Mine in the Galilee Basin.
The Black-throated finch is representative of not only it’s own precarious position, but that of all other species currently threatened by the wider climate and biodiversity crisis. I welcome artists to share the voice of collective grief in The Black Finch Project.”
The below artworks are my small contribution. Please visit Charlotte Watson’s website for more information on how you can be involved.
