Sydney will host the largest national Indigenous arts and cultural festival in Australia’s history.

Called Corroboree, the new annual festival will find a home in Sydney for at least the next three years.

It will be held over 11 days, from November 14-24 2013 and is being put together by nine of Sydney’s major arts and cultural institutions which have strong Indigenous programmes.

A working group has been formed to develop and execute the programme and includes predominately Indigenous staff from Bangarra Dance Theatre; Blackfella Films; Australian Museum; Gadigal Information Service; the Art Gallery of NSW; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia; State Library of NSW; Sydney Opera House and The Royal Botanic Gardens.

Events will include workshops, tours, exhibitions and performances by Sydney’s diverse cultural, arts and heritage institutions; film, music and dance at Cockatoo Island and a fashion and design showcase bringing together the best of Indigenous design from across Australia.
