It will feature some of Australia’s most notable visual and performing artists.
Held from late afternoon into the evening on Saturday October 21, this open-air event is set amongst beautiful rolling hills in South-West, NSW.
They will premier the Agri(culture) project. This is a collaborative series celebrating place and incorporating landscape, community, art and an evening concert.
Agri(culture) encourages participation in a multi-sensory environment, exploring rural and agricultural phenomena.
The inaugural Agri(culture) Project has commissioned 12 noteworthy interdisciplinary Australian and international artists and collectives to present creative outcomes during the festival.
From edible insects to experiencing the rumble of a herd of elephants to lying down on a fungul super highway and being a part of a podcast series with rural kids reviewing art, this project is wide ranging yet incisive.
The Agri(culture) project promises it will be unlike anything you have ever experienced.

The series that has been commissioned includes:
Beyond ol’ Tokai
BAFTA award winning artist and David Attenborough’s go-to sound recordist, Chris Watson’s Beyond Ol Tokai is a multi-channel sound experience which follows a herd of African elephants across a stunning sunset after a day in the Olodare marshes of the Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Mixed live, audiences will physically and aurally experience infrasonic rumbles as the matriarch guides the animals through the African landscape of Africa.
Insecta Delecta
Working with internationally trained molecular chef Soon Lee Low, Cat Jones has created a life-sized terrarium of edible ‘exotic’ delights.
Immersive, experiential and visually striking this work uncovers a potential insectivorous farming future to meet the protein needs of our increasing populations.
Dark Body
This site-based installation and audio work from Julie Vulcan investigates the reality of humans being sandwiched between literal darkness above and beneath us, and this darkness being integral to all forms of life.
This intricate ecology is explored via the rich terrain of fungi and its essential data network, mycelium.
Field Theory – Kids vs Art podcast series
Hear the brutal, refreshing and unaffected honesty of kids from a small rural school meeting their urban counterparts to review rural living and contemporary art.
This hilariously touching series of six podcasts released during Wired Open Day disrupts our general assumptions around art and rural living.
