Social Fabric’s Multicultural Band will perform for their second year at Djilba Wildflower Festival in Kepa Kurl/Esperance on the 19th September, 11.45am at the ECC Auditorium.
The Djilba Wildflower Festival is a 5-day annual event celebrating the region’s flora and Wudjari Nyungar cultural heritage. The Festival is the only Australian wildflower festival led by First Nations community, presented by Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation in collaboration with the Esperance Wildflower Society, St Andrews Anglican Parish and Esperance Community Arts.
Bringing together multicultural artists, the performance explores what it means to listen, learn and connect with Country in Kepa Kurl, while inviting audiences to deepen their understanding of Country and their responsibilities to, and respect for, place. Cultural consultation with First Nations leader Wanika Close has guided the artists’ engagement with these perspectives and ensured the work is approached with respect and care.
