Panel Discussion from Darwin Festival Gathering
Whose Mob? First Nations First in Festivals

Watch Now: Whose Mob?

First Nations First in Festivals

In Australia, festivals and gatherings have been taking place for over 80,000 years, so why is self-determination still a rarity in contemporary performing arts? Hear First Nations artistic directors from Australia and New Zealand discussing their approaches to honouring First Nations artists and audiences and shattering western assumptions of gathering.

This conversation was recorded in August 2021 as part of APAM’s Gathering at Darwin Festival. Run time 1hr 3mins.
