Regional // Regional Launch

The Regional // Regional Alliance was launched in August at Darwin Festival and is now preparing for the third meeting by December. In the early stages of the three-year program the Alliance are taking time to establish understandings of each other. Participants aim to benefit from ongoing knowledge exchanges whilst simultaneously building long-term relationships and developing new collaborations and projects for their regional audiences.

We have captured the spirit of the Darwin event in a video compilation including Bilawara Lee, Diat Alferink, Pippa Dickson and Mr Luke Gosling OAM MP.  Some of the festivals included are MONA FOMA (TAS), Mowanjum (WA), Castlemaine Festival (VIC), Northsite (QLD), Serendipity Arts (India) and Sanriku International Arts Festival (Japan). We have interviewed some of the members for their views on the value of cross-cultural engagements :
