Sounds Across Oceans acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our events stand on, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples of Meanjin, and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waterways.
Step into a dynamic space where cultural boundaries dissolve and artistic traditions converge. Open Encounters brings together artists specialising in intercultural collaboration across diverse creative and cultural backgrounds.
This intimate morning features members of Adelaide’s acclaimed Hyoshi in Counterpoint—merging Japanese taiko drumming with Western classical traditions—alongside some of Brisbane’s finest creative practitioners.
Experience the creative process through live demonstration as artists share their techniques, philosophies, and collaborative approaches. Through guided conversation and Q&A, gain insight into how distinct cultural art forms meet, influence, and transform one another.
The session flows from demonstration to discussion, offering opportunities to ask questions and delve deeper into intercultural artistic practice.
