This year’s international program includes engaging workshops, live performances and concerts, film screenings, interactive games and much more, and is suitable for kids and adults of all ages. The Festival explores issues of colonialism and intersectionality but does so in a creative, participatory manner, engaging communities and listening to their very own lived experiences.

An experiential workshop combining walking, moving, writing, drawing, and dialogue. Through reconnecting to our bodies, others, and our material surroundings we negotiate our position towards our human and non-human communities. The workshop entails exploration and experience of the land without the pressure of labour and productivity, challenging normative social behaviour, and demystifying performance practices. This is central to Belinda’s methodology of de-colonising the landscape through movement.
