The Austral

Bringing people together through stories, music and culture. A night to share, listen, learn and connect.

As part of Adelaide Climate Action Week, Our Country, Our Voices: First Nations Voices for Country is an evening celebrating the strength of First Nations voices through storytelling, music, spoken word and creative expression.

The event creates a welcoming space for First Nations people to share stories, experiences and connection to Country, while exploring climate change, caring for Country and our shared responsibility to create a more sustainable future. Through creativity and conversation, the evening invites people to listen, learn, connect and reflect on the important role we all play in caring for Country.

More than a showcase, this is an opportunity to inspire action, strengthen relationships and build a shared commitment to caring for Country. Together, we’ll celebrate First Nations voices, deepen understanding and explore how culture, community and collective action can create lasting impact for future generations.

Whether you’re performing, sharing a story or simply coming along to listen, we’d love you to join us for an inspiring evening of connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Come together to celebrate culture, hear diverse voices, build new relationships and be part of conversations that inspire action and strengthen our collective care for Country.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person who wants to join the open mic night, has a story to share that fits in with the theme of the night, register your details here and we will get in touch with you soon. Click here to register.

Come join us at the end of the week for a great night out. Please pass on to your friends, networks and anyone you know so we can get a good crowd there on the night
