FW: Kindred People

by Katherine Connor

For those who have been following along re the new Indigenous festival in Melbourne (presented at APAX last year) - the program for Kinded People has arrived. Very exciting! Katherine Connor | Executive Director | PAC Australia | +61 (0) 419 428 412 | paca.org.au<http://www.paca.org.au/> From: Tom Molyneux <tom.molyneux(a)monash.edu> Sent: Wednesday, 17 June 2026 12:34 PM Subject: Kindred People Ngata wartee pa kakay (hello brothers & sisters), I'm really pleased to share that today we've released the inaugural program for Kindred People<https://mpac.monash.edu/kindred-people/>, taking place on Boonwurrung Country this September. It's been a long and considered process to get here, guided by N'arwee't Aunty Carolyn Briggs AM, our Indigenous Steering Committee, and a wide network of artists, Elders and collaborators. The program brings together global First Nations voices across performance, knowledge exchange, music and visual art, with a number of new works commissioned through this project. There's so much that I am excited by - some bold premieres, some deeply reflective work, and space to gather, listen and connect. I feel grateful to be a small part of bringing this festival to audiences alongside such an extraordinary group of people, whose grace, patience and substantial contributions I acknowledge here. If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to take a look through the program. It would be a thrill to have you join us for as many events as you can across our Monash campuses in September. Spreading the word through your networks would also be hugely appreciated. As always, feel free to reach out if you'd like to yarn more about the work or how we can support your engagement with Kindred People. There's more exciting announcements to come over the next few months.
