A hub of storytelling, technology and immersive experiences. An Act of Being, a stunning collaboration between Bangarra Dance Theatre and Reconciliation Australia, blends dance and digital art. Wander through Somnius, a dreamscape of thousands of shimmering lights, or gather around Bon(d)fire, where stories ignite the flames. Law and Life: Transgender Stories shares powerful voices, Endling envisions our future, and Firetalk, curated by Jazz Money, brings First Nations storytelling to life by the fire in partnership with Sydney Writers’ Festival.
