FREE EVENT, NO BOOKING REQUIRED
In response to Reaching Out and All In by British artist Thomas J Price, performer Candy Bowers curates and hosts an original program of nightly performances that will move, tickle, ground and lift the crowd to new heights.
Supported by house band The Experience, enjoy live music, spoken word poetry and dance celebrating the talents of the African diaspora living in Australia.
Includes special guest appearances by Jace XL, Aisha Dee, Nhatty Man, Okenyo, Samuel Gaskin and Ajak Kwai. All ages and everybody welcome.
“The 12ft bronze sculptures that stand tall in Federation Court at the NGV feel like an extraordinary act of love. The work is both grand and accessible. It is my absolute pleasure to create a live performance in response to these giants and curate a party that elevates the extraordinary talents of artists that have grown up African in Australia. Yebo!” – Candy Bowers
