The Sustainable Travel Agency is a participatory audio performance featuring mini holidays, mocktails, a red blazer and warm reassuring smiles.
When was the last time you had a break? I think we could all do with one. Between the cost of living crisis, global politics and the environmental apocalypse it feels like we’ve got a lot on at the moment. Just a lot of pressure to do the right thing, be responsible, don’t make a mess. It’s enough to make anyone anxious.
A few years ago Jeff Bezos went on a mini holiday of his own. He went all the way into space and back down again in a purpose built rocket, for 11 minutes, with a reported price ticket of five and a half billion dollars of his own money.
All of this is to say, sit down would you. Give yourself a moment, I think you deserve a rest. Even if it’s just for 11 minutes.
The Sustainable Travel Agency is a work-in-progress project by Jenny Gaskell, commissioned by SICK! Festival & Islington Mill WEAVE – investment from Northern Powerhouse (formerly EU European Regional Development Fund).
