This July, Canberra’s new arts and innovation festival, Uncharted Territory, will take place, celebrating creativity, experimentation, and ground-breaking ideas.
“Canberra’s newest major festival … will showcase a fusion of ideas, entrepreneurship, and creativity from some of Canberra’s most formidable minds and talents,” Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced.
Over 10 days, from 7 to 16 July, Uncharted Territory will bring together creative thinkers, innovators, and artists to generate and present original, purposeful, and progressive ideas, Mr Barr said.
“It will be a collaboration between local innovators, creatives, businesses, and community organisations, and promises to become one of Canberra’s principal seasonal events encouraging locals and visitors to explore our city’s unique culture of creativity and innovation.
“Uncharted Territory will present uniquely Canberra experiences, and is underpinned by a vision for audiences to experience, discover and connect with something different.
“A launchpad for the emerging and a platform for the courageous, Uncharted Territory is a partnership with Canberra’s innovation, tertiary, and cultural sectors to present a multifaceted festival program that encourages artists and innovators to explore new forms of expression, new ways of doing things, to challenge themselves, embrace risk, and push the boundaries of what is possible.”
Festival events will take place in and around ANU’s cultural precinct Kambri, and across the city.
Mr Barr said Uncharted Territory will support local businesses and the tourism and hospitality industry by encouraging visitors during Canberra’s cooler months.
Details of the festival’s program will be revealed soon.
