Cosmic Connections: Celebrating 40 years of ACE

Cosmic Connections: Celebrating 40 years of ACE - Presented by Gili Gatherings

For 40 years, Arts & Cultural Exchange (ACE) has been a constellation of creativity - a place where cultures meet, stories intertwine, and transformation begins. To celebrate this luminous journey, Gili Gatherings - Gili, meaning “to shine” in Gadigal/Dharug language - presents Cosmic Connections, a night that honours care, cultural continuity, and the infinite possibilities of community.

Immerse yourself in a night of art, music, dance, fashion, and storytelling across multiple spaces from day to night. Something for everyone - from family friendly live puppetry performances, mural painting, hands on embroidery workshops, live performances, DJ’s and exhibitions. You will also be the first to see the new Yapa Mali fashion collection on runway!!

Get ready to strut your stuff and together, we’ll celebrate the brilliance of Western Sydney artists and the vibrant future we’re creating.
