ABOUT JAUMAFEST

JaumaFest is a grassroots festival created in 2021 by us, James and Sophie Erskine.

Over the last four years, Jaumafest evolved from our wish of offering a nature immersion experience, building relationship to land and food source through regenerative farming, organic food and artisanal winemaking, and creating space for community connection. Jaumafest is an inclusive, safe and diverse space for all members of our community. 

​We believe community resilience and collaboration is central to building a sustainable future.

​It is our hope that Jaumafest offers space to connect people from far and wide in support of local arts, music, farmers and producers, held with deep respect for the traditional custodians of Peramangk Country, and their ongoing relationship to this land we gather on.

Join us in December for this wonderful gathering, bring your friends and family and meet some amazing people.

​Collect your season’s cherries from our certified organic orchard, then chill out on the hill and listen to amazing live music with a glass or two of delicious natural wine. Bring a picnic rug and some snacks, and enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for an evening of formative Australian queer documentary cinema as we present Witches and Faggots, Dykes and Poofters (dir. Digby Duncan, 1980, 45 mins), depicting the grassroots meetings, strategies, and organising efforts of Sydney’s lesbian and gay activists leading up to the first Mardi Gras in 1978; and, Homosexuality: A Film for Discussion (dir. Barbara Creed, 1975, 43 mins), a series of candid testimonies from homosexual men and women, capturing a diverse range of perspectives on homosexuality during a time when it was still criminalised in all Australian states and territories. These two groundbreaking Australian documentaries were critical to the primary shaping of early queer political resistance and are not just historical artefacts — they are living records of protest, and capture critical political action. Archival queer films remind us of the work that has come before and challenge us to see the present in relation to these earlier struggles.

Short introduction from esteemed scholar Barbara Creed, followed by a post-film discussion and live readings of archival materials.

Queer Visions is supported by UniSA Justice and Society and Network for Studies in Gender, Sexualities and Equity.

SAGE is a community for all folks who love and care for our planet. Our monthly gatherings are a space to nourish each other, so that we can nourish our world. Join us for an evening of delicious food, hearty discussion and new skills. The night will start with a shared meal, then we will move into community announcements, then into open space workshops, with lots of space for social breaks throughout. — On Sunday June 28th, we’re moving into our brand new home and we are SO STOKED about it! SAGE will now be held at YouthInc, an alternative school for 18-25 yr olds in a cool converted church on Pulteney St. We’re keen to build a mutual relationship with the generous YouthInc crew and help make the space our own for the long haul. Of course, SAGE is still (& will always be) for all ages. Young or old, parent or pensioner, first-timer or seasoned activist - everyone is welcome. So, to celebrate moving to our new home, the theme this month is “PLAY: Come over to our place” 🏡 The night will be created entirely by the community - anyone can bring a workshop or a discussion idea. And if you’ve got a mate who could run a good workshop on this theme, call them up & invite them! Some ideas: ✊️ Maybe “play” makes you think of playing with the rules, playing with new worlds and systems. 🏡 Maybe “play” takes you back to your roots and reminds you of childhood games you could bring 🏸 Maybe you have an idea for an unfinished workshop that you want to experiment with running 🎷 Maybe you want to bring an instrument, or an art form ‼️Or something else entirely! As always, you can bring a workshop NOT about the theme too - all ideas welcome. – Some other things you might want to bring… 🍲 A plate of food to share for the potluck dinner 🫒 Veggies or seedlings for the produce swap 🧵 Something to mend at the mending corner 🌟 Snergy to help shape the new space and make it our own!! Run through of how the night will (roughly) go… 4:30-5:15pm: Arriving, Sharing food. 5:15-5:45pm: Welcome, Community Announcements. 5:45-7:45pm: Open Space Workshop Sessions (including a break for tea/chats). 7:45-8.00pm: Closing Circle. All welcome. Come anytime that suits you. A new accessibility guide for YouthInc will posted soon. See you there!
