Monash Peforming Arts Centres: Kindred People 2026
1 September @ 8:00 am - 5 September @ 5:00 pm AEST

Awaken murrup — Awaken the spirit
Kindred People is an Indigenous‑led gathering of global First Nations artists, Elders, Knowledge Holders, students and community, coming to Monash University on Boonwurrung Country in September 2026.
Guided by culture, the festival centres Indigenous knowledges, creativity and connection through ceremony, performance, dialogue and time spent together on Country. It is a space to listen deeply, to learn, and to experience Indigenous creativity as living, relational and grounded in place.
Taking place across Monash campuses from 1–5 September 2026, Kindred People will bring together communities from Australia and across the world in a shared invitation: to gather with care, and to engage with Indigenous voices, stories and ways of knowing
