A Different Cultural Offering
2025 was a time for reflection, research and development as we have sought to understand what the festival will look like moving forward and how we can continue to grow impactful ways to showcase and celebrate through activities, events, exhibitions and creative work exploring narratives of displacement and resettlement. We encourage people to share the work they are doing for inclusion in our whats on guide and to help us shape the festival over the coming years.
