PNG, West Papua, Zenadth Kez and First Nations Australia united in music and dance

Join us for a celebration of the shared connections in culture, history and art with our Pacific and Torres Strait Island neighbours. Expect fresh young talent direct from the streets of Port Moresby alongside First Nations rappers and vocalists, traditional and contemporary dancers backed by phenomenal musicians all with one thing in common… MEGANESIA.

Musical rebels Sorong Samarai from West Papua and PNG provide the soundtrack alongside featured vocalists Jugu Gaitah, Yirrmal Marika, Sprigga Mek, Deline Briscoe and more. Prepare for the unexpected. This is the future sound of Papua, Zenadth Kez and Yolŋu.
