ORCA unites leaders in art, design, culture, geography, education, and urban research to ignite creative research and civic action for regenerative futures.
At the launch, we’ll premiere White Rock—a powerful new documentary exposing a hidden crisis in Australian waters: the longspined sea urchins’ destruction of the Great Southern Reef. Blending science, policy, and sustainable seafood, ‘White Rock’ shows how we can protect Australia’s reefs, offering a rare, immersive view into underwater worlds we all depend on, but few ever see.
Following the screening, join us for a panel discussion moderated by ORCA co-founder Dr Rebecca Olive, featuring Yaraan Bundle Couzens, leader of the Southern Ocean Protection Embassy Collective (SOPEC) and Gunditjmara First Nations Ocean defender; Stefan Andrews, producer and editor of White Rock from the Great Southern Reef Foundation—a marine biologist, filmmaker, and Ocean Literacy advocate known for his underwater cinematography and compelling storytelling that translates complex marine research into engaging, educational narratives; and Cátia Freitas from Deakin University’s Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment, whose research explores deeper human-ocean connections.

Presented by RMIT University and Ocean Research Climate Action (ORCA).

We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?
This documentary film looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers, retailers, inspiring organisations, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment. With its mix of humor and eye-opening moments, it encourages viewers of all ages to rethink their food habits and make more sustainable choices.

Act on Climate collective meeting & dinner (online and in-person)

ORGANISING MEETINGS ON TUESDAY NIGHTS

The Act on Climate collective meet weekly on Tuesday evenings. Except on the second Thursday of the month when we host a social event instead of a meeting. This is an opportunity for new and existing members to gather outside of FoE HQ to chat about what’s going informally, check in and hang out.

Act on Climate campaigns for climate justice with frontline communities, workers, and unions. The collective is building an alliance with grassroots groups towards climate resilience and local solutions with social justice at its’ core.

Weekly collective meetings are the engine room for our campaigns. Dinner is included, cooked by a collective member.
Come along to get involved in grassroots action for climate justice.

NOTE: Friends of the Earth is a COVID-safe workplace. At face-to-face meetings, we ask that attendees are fully vaccinated.
We acknowledge that the lands we meet and work on across so called Victoria are stolen from First Nations people. There can be no climate justice without justice for First Nations communities everywhere. Solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people under settler colonialism in so called Australia is critical in the fight for liberation from all oppressive systems that devalue and exploit people and the environment.

Living in Symbiosis - an Archeology of the Future
2025-08-26 19:00 - 20:00 | Lecture Theatre (B117), Glyn Davis Building (133 – Melbourne School of Design), Lecture Theatre (B117), Glyn Davis Building (133 - Melbourne School of Design), Melbourne University - Parkville, VIC, 3010, Australia
More than a method of work, “Archeology of the future” is a true approach to the built landscape established by Lina Ghotmeh throughout her practice. Founder of Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture, Paris based discipline, Lina Ghotmeh’s designs develop from thorough historical research emerging as exquisite interventions that enliven our memories and senses.
In this “Archeology of the future”, every architecture is drawn from its place and from the traces of its past. A link is drawn between time, memory, space establishing an anchored place drawing a strong tie between the Humane and Nature. The past meets the future as histories are unearthed and memories excavated to enable questioning, innovation, and a more sustainable architecture.
Bearing a “humanist” approach, Lina Ghotmeh’s practice emphasises the power of craft and that of the hand in the making of Architecture. Through this, the built embraces the traditions of its localities, while uplifting the subjective experience and the collective memory of those it recalls.
