Presented by Cempoalxochitl Arts Collective and BEMAC, in collaboration with Meanjin Mexican Community. Supported by Fish Lane Arts Precinct, QPAC, and Merivale Studios. OFRENDA takes place on Yuggera and Turrbul Country.
BEMAC is a subsidiary of SSI and supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
As visitors, migrants, and immigrants, we acknowledge that this event takes place on unceded Aboriginal lands, and pay our respects to the custodians of Country as the first artists of these lands. Always was, always will be.
