Rituals • The Sacred, The Now, The In-Between
Step into an immersive celebration of ritual pluralism and cross-cultural dialogue spanning First Nations creators to the world.
Machine Hall will come alive with Rituals, showcasing a dynamic tapestry of expression woven by a multicultural collective of 25+ artists.
From 2pm, the doors to Machine Hall will open to an immersive world of light, video and sound with artisan displays featuring intricate traditional and contemporary crafts.
Join us at 2:30pm for Acknowledgement of Country before an intimate panel discussion.
Gather round and listen to distinguished performers and thought leaders Gambirra Illume (Gambirra MOB), Shyamla (BINDI BOSSES) and Vincent Sebastian (Oyobi) open an honest dialogue with OroAna (Mami Guata) on the ancestral traditions that lie at the heart of their creative practices. (Note: more panellists to be announced).
Find your feet in a ritualistic soundscape curated by acclaimed dancer and DJ Lady Chika; behold the breathtaking choreography of movement artists Sophia Ndaba; trace the swift and masterful brushstrokes of Tomoko Oka’s large-scale calligraphy; groove to GabZak and A Dance Of Worlds feat. Raphael Hatzi and Yarran; fire up the dance floor with electro polyrhythm trio OYOBI feat. a special guest vocalist – and turn it up (and up) for a heart-pumping set by 9-piece powerhouse band Gambirra MOB led by Yolngu songstress, Gambirra Illume.
