Set to the rhythm of the sun, we start by paying our respects to Country and Elders before setting off on our pilgrimage across the Festival. Each day of Next Wave, a new artist leads us through a new Ritual.

Next Wave Festival 2018 is a collection of opposing energies: revealing unfinished business, cause for celebration and forces to be reckoned with. At its heart is this daily gathering where simple gestures mend divides.

Say a prayer, share a cup of tea, burn, weave, dance, make offerings. Connect, strengthen, transform and reflect. Begin at Blak Dot Gallery at 5.31pm on Thu 3 May, and go from there.

Follow #nwritual each morning to discover the next location and artist.
