Two black placards that are standing up on a green grass area with trees behind them. Text on the left placard reads, Penguins are people too. There is a stencilled graphic of a family of penguins along the bottom of the placard. The right placard reads, Fo$$il fuels greed. There is a stencilled graphic or orange and red flames along the top of the placard. A person is standing wearing a giant papier mache elephant head, their right hand raised in the air. In their left hand they are holding a white placard that reads, how many more must go extinct. Behind them, a crowd of people are gathered on the grass, sitting and standing in small groups with leafy green trees in the background. Two people with arms linked are dancing on the grass. One person is wearing striped shorts, long hair tied back under a brimmed hat, and a keffiyeh over their shoulders. The other person, is wearing blue jeans and a singlet top, long brown hair swinging as they dance. To either side of them and behind them are other pairs of people also dancing. They are all smiling and having fun. In the background is leafy green trees and blue sky. A ‘fake person’ is in a camp chair, wearing a dark blue suit and white shirt. They are wearing a three headed face mask, with cartoon images of three notable politicians. A green plastic frog is sitting on their knee, indicating the frogs that will die from mining the Denniston Plateau. In the background is long green grass.

West Papua joined in solidarity to celebrate the unbreakable resistance of the Kurdish people — the ancient children of Mesopotamia. For decades they have sacrificed, stood against oppression, and refused to surrender their hope.

They survive through dignity, guided by memory, driven by freedom.✌️
