Empowerment through Festivals
Small, intimate and human-scale festivals have the capacity to bring people together in moments of human contact and re-imagination.
At Ninth Wave we both run and collaborate on a variety of festivals across the Americas, including the itinerant Poetry & Activism Festival, highlighting indigenous defenders in Mexico and the Equinox Environmental Film Festival in Vermont, USA, among others. To participate, collaborate or contribute, please email info@ninthwaveglobal.com

The River That Came Back From The Dead
Folk music is central to the story of the Hudson River’s re-emergence as a beacon of environmental hope. Every summer, on canoe journeys on the river, local and international musicians come together to celebrate this heritage, and related ongoing activism.
