Canberra steps into Uncharted Territory

CANBERRA has a new winter festival, Uncharted Territory, which the ACT government says will “showcase a fusion of ideas, entrepreneurship and creativity from some of Canberra’s most formidable minds and talents”.

Focused principally around the ANU’s cultural precinct Kambri between July 7-16, the government says Uncharted Territory will support local businesses and the tourism and hospitality industry by encouraging visitors during Canberra’s cooler months.

“It will be a collaboration between local innovators, creatives, businesses and community organisations and promises to become one of Canberra’s principal seasonal events encouraging locals and visitors to explore our city’s unique culture of creativity and innovation,” the government says.

“A launchpad for the emerging and a platform for the courageous, Uncharted Territory is a partnership with Canberra’s innovation, tertiary and cultural sectors to present a multifaceted festival program that encourages artists and innovators to explore new forms of expression, new ways of doing things, to challenge themselves, embrace risk and push the boundaries of what is possible.”

New festival, but details ‘depressingly vague’

One Response to Canberra steps into Uncharted Territory

Yes, new festivals are wonderful, especially for our local politicians as they make them appear innovative. If they bring money and business to Canberra, that’s good too. That could be challenging in the depths of a cold Canberra winter.

If new ideas cost more money than they bring in, that’s a problem. This government is severely neglecting its duties towards local residents in terms of health, education, footpaths, roads, trees, all other maintenance and basic costs of sustainably looking after people and our environment. Spending on upkeep and essential services is important too, not just on festivals, football and fringe issues.
