Diaspora Rendered curated by Tanu Gago - FAFSWAG Arts Collective - RESCHEDULING TO SATURDAY

Tamaki Makaurau is set to host the inaugural Festival of Live Art (F.O.L.A.) - AKL in 2023,  a wild, celebratory mash up of subversive, playful, and daring art. Local and international independent artists will come together from 14 – 19 February at Basement Theatre and digitally, to challenge perceptions and push the boundaries of performance and art. Welcome to the artistic underground. The art brats are out to play.

The 2023 programme is shaped around the sun and moon cycles, with each live work programmed during the exact timings of moonrise and sunset. The result is a festival that takes the audience on a journey that encourages clandestine pockets of darkness and transcendent moments of lightness that lean in our planet's celestial cycles.

Full programme found here.
