Powerhouse Late: Re-right
Powerhouse collaborates with the Re-Right Collective to celebrate the creativity, strength and diversity of our communities. For the first time since Sydney Mardi Gras, the Rainbow Serpent First Nations Community Float supported by ACON will be reactivated at the Powerhouse. As well as a display in collective and creative strength, is a Blak market featuring local Blak businesses. Re-Right brings together artists including Kobie Dee, Akala Newman, Jazz Money and Brolga Dance Academy.
Re-Right is an artistic collective between Carmen Glynn-Braun, Southern Arrernte, Kaytetye, and Ammatyerre; and Dennis Golding, Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay. The artists co-founded Re-Right to provide a safe space for emerging First Nations practitioners to form ideas and build a support network within the cultural arts. Re-Right strives to expand their creative practice through collaboration with a key goal to highlight resilience and truthful narratives of history and cultural identity.
