38 sites – including shop fronts, laneways, windows and footpaths – on and around Gertrude Street will be transformed with bright lights, video and colourscapes across the festival’s ten days.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural Mentorship Program, there will be three new site specific projects exploring the use of projection through live performance, sculpture and holographic techniques. The program aims to create opportunities for emerging artists to create new work in collaboration with established artists, the community and local businesses. Featured artists this year include Gestural Intent by Nadia Faragaab, In Bloom by Brianna Hudson and The Detour by Aphrodite Feros-Fooke and Chase Burns.
Other works on show will include the second installment of Uprising Youth Theatre’s Wheel Of Fate – a choose your own adventure style performance utilising cutting edge mobile LED projector technology – and Little Woods Gallery, hosting a series of pop-up artworks, performances, presentations and discussion groups.
Capping it off, The Catfish will once again become the Festival Hub, offering a range of live performances and projection artworks, featuring the likes of Ocdantar, Deer, Friendships and Musicians 4 Hearing.
