Dario Vacirca (pictured) is foremost an artist, but he is an agitator and someone concerned, in a broad sense, about the welfare of people and sees their best interests, and society's generally, being served through the acceptance and application of an unconditional Universal Basic Income. Dario is simply a good bloke.

He was one of the many speakers who informed and entertained those who attended, in person and virtually, the annual Universal Basic Income Earth Network 2022 Congress in Brisbane over three days from Monday, September 26.

Dario, who is also a writer, is deeply involved with a tenants association that was critical in saving/protecting the early 20th Century Nicholas Building in central Melbourne - you can read about that in a Melbourne Age story "Creatives shine on in Melbourne's arty heart - with a little help".
