Empowering and celebrating First Nations writers and storytellers, the festival program is almost entirely free. Spanning 5 days, with over 30 events and 80 First Nations artists of diverse backgrounds and genres, the contemporary festival unfolds across Melbourne's major venues, The Wheeler Centre, Fed Square, State Library of Victoria and The Capitol, with many events live-streamed online.
