Emerge In The West is back for its 8th edition from May 2 to 5 in the City of Maribyrnong. Presented by Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV), PBS and the African Australian Small Business Association, the festival once again brings a multi-art form festival to the streets of Footscray.
This year's festival kicks off with three showcase events including: Picture This a film showcase and conversation with local filmmakers of African Heritage. Perspective of Ideas an exhibition by two African artists who have traveled and live outside their birth place, and Hot Topics an innovative youth-led model that will showcase spoken word, music and food in a harmonious environment.
The main stage will feature music from Blak Roots, Saeed Abdullah's East African Ensemble and the Senegambian Jazz Band to name a few.
The African Kitchen, a new partnership with the Village World Kitchen Project , will have food demonstrations and storytelling with local chefs and foodies. Plus so much more!
