BARI Festival 2016
Celebrating art at the source.
Overview
When groups of creative types first decided to band together to present their own work, ARIs — or artist-run initiatives — were born. And when Brisbane's various cohorts crossed paths, BARI came into the world.
BARI Festival is the next step, showcasing the innovative work that the city's ARIs craft, providing a fresh platform for their efforts, and endeavouring to expand their engagement with audiences. A biennial event, its 2016 program is jam-packed with exciting artistry. A tour of Brissie on a CityCycle with a bag of goon in the front basket; a warehouse party filled with bands, live painting, skateboarding and performances; or an immersive sound and swimming event, anyone?
Or, view a piece inspired by two weeks spent analysing a pile of rubbish dumped in a shopping centre car park, discover what happens when a collective explores sex-positivity by undertaking short residencies in an adult entertainment venue, or enjoy a Sunday salon to chat about your own endeavours. Experimentation, discussion, celebration, contemplation: BARI Festival has it all.
