George Monbiot:
“Consumerism is the stifling of our moral imaginations.”—George Monbiot
“In 1995, Nelson Mandela presented him with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement. He won the Sir Peter Kent award 1991 prize for his book Amazon Watershed. In November 2007, his book Heat was awarded the Premio Mazotti, an Italian book prize, but he was denied the money given with the prize because he chose not to travel to Venice to collect it in person, arguing that it was not a good enough reason to justify flying. In 2017, he was a recipient of the SEAL Environmental Journalism Award for his work at The Guardian.
“In 2022, Monbiot was awarded The Orwell Prize for Journalism.”–Wikipedia

“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations.

Art: Yayoi Kusama (Japan)
Yayoi Kusama, NGV International, until 21 April 2025
“With around 200 artworks on display, Yayoi Kusama is a large exhibition that covers most of the ground floor of NGV International.
A number of Yayoi Kusama artworks are on display in the public areas outside the ticketed exhibition area. These are free to visit and don’t require a ticket.
The ticketed exhibition areas are split into two parts. Part 1 is on your right as you enter from the Waterwall entrance on St Kilda Road. The entrance to Part 1 is past the NGV Garden Restaurant. The entrance to Part 2 is next to the Gallery Kitchen cafe. See page 11 for the Sensory Map for more information.
You can take a break in between the two parts of the exhibition and relax in the Great Hall, NGV Garden or Gallery Kitchen. It is recommended that you enter Part 2 by 4pm, to allow yourself an hour to see it before the Gallery closes at 5pm.
The exhibition follows a set path. “—NGV
