Come with us in to the world of the Carnival - a place of liberation where chaos, humour, unordinary politics and free personal expression guide us in celebration and shared possibilities to reimagine the future. Themes of the carnival can be interpreted in many ways, revolving and evolving around the natural world, its ongoing narrative legacies and its essential ability to uplift and inspire the blossoming of our communities.
~
Carnivals around the world provide a rare opportunity to step outside the confines of ordinary life and become your wildest and most natural self! There will be plenty of materials and workshops to help you achieve your transformation on the day, but we strongly encourage everyone to come dressed in extravagant outfits that evoke the mystery and majesty of life in the undergrowth!

⚘ Carnival in the Undergrowth will be a communal day of explorative visual arts, creative workshops, live music and creative performances from 12pm - dusk. Interactive musical ritual will carry us in to the night, within which we will reach the peak of the carnival with a metamorphic DJ set and live projections from 8.30pm. Our events seek to dissolve the boundaries between audiences and artists and we absolutely encourage participant interaction, fancy dress, shared creativity and self expression.

✧ 4pm - 6pm : RITUAL and PERFORMANCE - Seed Sowing Ceremony, Experimental Percussion and Poetry by Magda Onatra, Dance performance by Jo Freeman, Action Painting, Fire, and more!

✦6pm - 9:45pm : LIVE MUSIC and DJ - Flamenco Immigrants, Silky Disturbance, Catherine Lavender and Alex Rose, with a closing set by our resident DJ Lupa. Featuring Interactive Projections by Heena Song.

We are Undergrowth Collective. For us, the Undergrowth serves as a metaphor for the nourishing power and deep diversity of life that arises from below, into dominant culture. Our collective explores the concept of the Undergrowth simultaneously as both a real and metaphorical place, within which we invite participants to co-create experiences of wonder and transformation through art, performance and musical immersion.
