Festival Next Wave

Next Wave is the most comprehensive platform in Australia for a new generation of artists taking creative risks. Next Wave produces unparalleled learning programs and a biennial festival, which reflect a commitment to social and cultural diversity, environmental sustainability and inclusion.

The Next Wave Festival 2018 features several exhibitions and performances by artists focusing on the greatest challenge of our time: Climate Change.

Taree Sansbury turns to her ancestry to find the answer in mi:wi, referring to the invisible ties we have to our past and future, people and country. Apocalypses presents the world as one of repeated annihilation and renewal by presenting 100 historical disasters in 60 minutes.

In Bureau of Meteoranxiety, a future-focused live art experience, artists Alex Tate and Olivia Tartaglia create an agency designed to address symptoms of climate change fear. Expose your woes to experimental visual therapies and sensory remedies. Beware of technical glitches and hyperbolic emotional responses – BoMa is in beta phase. Bringing ecoanxiety into sharp view, this immersive, thought-provoking work offers participants new language and coping strategies to help stay above the metaphorical and literal flood line.
