  • Welcome to Country by Aunty Rhonda

Our second free community gathering - acknowledging all we lost during the pandemic, whilst beginning to rebuild individual spirits and our collective bonds.

Aunty Rhonda, who'll again welcome us to country, described our first hurrah thus: 'it was such a lovely event very thoughtful loved everything about it the energy was ethereal yet uplifting something that I feel needed during these trying times.'

We acutely recognise that we gather on contentious land - where a penal colony was first imposed on the oldest living culture on earth, an area where displacement and dispossession of people in the name of crass commerce persists

This is an intergenerational, multimodal exchange of music and performance - featuring a diverse array of local artists, bound by sincere intentions to emotionally engage and uplift after the acute traumas of the past year.

A safe and inclusive space that welcomes people of all ages, races and sexualities - seeking to heal the harms endured in isolation by sharing culture in a creative re-purposing of this historic outdoor/indoor venue.

A clear-eyed look at the stark shape of things.

A determination to waste no minutes or opportunities: to do better, together. The laying of a fairer foundation for our future: in hope, in gesture, indeed. It starts with us.

Head down to the harbour with your loved ones to share in true stories, stirring Sydney bands, empathetic deejay sets and sacred/profane shows.

Enjoy life, culture and each other

This is a free party, but due to limited capacity and Covid restrictions, RSVP is essential.
