S5 E05 The Castlemaine Currency Project
Local currencies and alternative money systems... what is that all about? Is it really a helpful thing to be thinking about in the middle of the climate crisis? A group of artists in Castlemaine have created an art project and social experiment in the form of a local currency they called The Silver Wattle to explore just these questions. The audio in this episode was recorded at a live event that was held as part of the Castlemaine fringe arts festival – one year after the Castlemaine Currency Project was launched back in May 2022 LINKS: About the Castlemaine Currency Project: Castlemaine Currency Website Castlemaine Currency Facebook Film “Conversations from the Castlemaine Currency Project“ by Lisa Mills at Storyland ABC article from time of exhibition Article in garland magazine About the Artists: Jodi Newcomb Carbon Arts The Castlemaine Institute Dale Cox Ann Ferguson Other Links: Get Lost – funded the Currency project in 2022 Castlemaine Pay The Rent Transition Towns Wikipedia Transition Network Local Lives Global Matters conference The film Tomorrow Rob Hopkins – his book ‘from what if to what is’ Totnes Transition Town Totnes Pound Wararak Initiatives Josh Durum - Design by Committee Indigenomics Regen Melbourne Brixton Pound – Bowie’s head on the note Anitra Nelson – Beyond Money
