We’re thrilled to be inviting YIRRAMBOI as the Festival-in-Residence this year. A delegation from YIRRAMBOI will be with us for the duration of the festival and will host one of the Fierce Feasts, participate in Fierce Jams 03: Highbury Hall, and takeover the infamous Club Fierce. This residency represents a long-term partnership between our organisations, with the desire and intention for their artists to return to Fierce with a full production in 2028.

About YIRRAMBOI

Gifted by Elders, YIRRAMBOI means tomorrow in the local languages of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung peoples.

 

Deeply rooted in purpose, YIRRAMBOI platforms expressions of culture, identity, unity and truth through evolutionary and experimental practices, breaking away from preconceived ideas of First Nations ‘art’. YIRRAMBOI provides a stage for First Nations voices to be heard and for stories to reverberate through generations.

As a critically acclaimed global First Nations festival, YIRRAMBOI possesses the power to lead the arts industry into a new TOMORROW.
