Kidogo Arthouse Fremantle
Greetings All!
This year we shall not be delivering the "Hand in Hand - Kidogo Irish Aboriginal Festival" as we have done for the past 4 years.
Instead we are working on an extension of the Festival to build an Indigenous Cultural Ambassador's Program between Western Australian First Nation Elders, Lore-carriers, storytellers, writers, musicians, artists, poets and their counterparts in Ireland.
This Cultural knowledge sharing journey will form deep friendships and connections between our countries and be the beginning of what we plan will run for many lifetimes.
We are starting with building bridges between Ireland and Western Australia - as Joanna Robertson who is from Dublin and founded Kidogo Arthouse Fremantle and co-founded the "Hand in Hand - Kidogo Irish Aboriginal Festival" is based in Western Australia and so are all the First Nation Elders and artists that built and delivered Australia's first "Irish-Aboriginal Festival" with Joanna!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day Everyone!
