ABOUT ETCH FESTIVAL

At the ETCH Festival, we believe that art has power.

Power to communicate messages and to empower others through our work. Our artists have created projects which collectively celebrate the Earth, grieve for past and future loss, and educate on what must be done next.

These involve original student works, imbuing old pieces with new messages, as well as community outreach efforts to make our platform more accessible.

We hope our festival engages you and encourages you to investigate your connections to art and to earth.

” Art, freedom and creativity will change the world faster than politics.”

– Victor Pinchuk

Storytelling and Song

A warm welcome to you all! This is the RCS Storytelling + Song Club’s contribution to the ETCH Festival 2021.

We set out to explore the stories from around our planet which show the connection between humanity and the natural world. There are folktales and songs from every corner of the globe which emphasise the interdependency of our species and the rest of the planet, and we have chosen a couple of these to share with you here.
