Federation Square
The Indigenous Campfire extends a warm welcome from the traditional owners of this land and will be the centre of storytelling, learning and sharing over the winter season.
Leempeeyt Weeyn’ will burn continously from 5 to 20 August, offering a space out of time in the heart of the city. The fire is a symbol of resistance and a place for coming together, artistically and spiritually.
Join use by the warmth of the Campfire on selected evenings in August for a variety of kids activities, workshops, live music and spoken word performances.
