ON SUNDAY 3 November, Craft Fair patrons were asked to stop on an unusual ‘red’ signal. In addition to Rotary officials directing Fair traffic on the eastern side of the bridge, the performance art group, the Red Rebel Brigade stopped traffic on the western side of the bridge for short periods.

The performance on the riverbank was much less hazardous than amongst the traffic on the bridge.

The Red Rebels silently focused the attention of onlookers onto the current climate emergency and portrayed the grief for those species and habitats already lost.
