Campaigner Jeremy Bally is half way through a 12,000 kilometer international bicycling and performance tour. Pedalling for Papua aims to raise awareness of the 50 year old human rights and environmental abuse in the underreported region of West Papua

Jeremy is touring a multimedia performance on his bicycle through 7 countries over 6 months. The show takes recorded conversations with West Papuan exiles, refugees and activists live on stage through an original animation. This is projected beside Jeremy as he narrates with original spoken word poetry and ukulele based hip-hop music.
Come and watch and be inspired!
We'll be screening the documentary Strange Birds in Paradise afterwards too (http://www.strangebirds.com.au)
FREE ENTRY (but donations to Pedalling for Papua welcomed
As home to the bird of paradise, the second largest jungle remaining in the world, and our planet's most bio-diverse marine zone, this beautiful region has been subject to what many observers have dubbed a slow-motion genocide. As many as 500,000 Indigenous West Papuans have died as a result of the military presence and lack of development in their homeland.
