[FOPA 2025] Early Bird Day Pass

We’re releasing a limited batch of early-bird day passes at last year’s price of $36.50.

After the timetable is published, we’ll be in touch so you can choose which day you’d like to attend.

Once the timetable is published on November 20, day passes will increase to $50, so secure yours early.

Some notes on this years program...

The so-called crisis in education is over, we are simply moving on... and so we asked those participating to respond to a nominal orientation this year: 

“Institutional Drift, Value at the Threshold.”

How the program has taken shape is a credit to those involved in the para-academic sphere.

We will have subtle and nuanced connections between the various sessions. There are however, a number of stand-out thematics across the program:

• Onto-politics, sovereignty, occupation, liberation and Treaty

• Technics, datasets, AI and imagination

• Education, the university and para-academia

• Economics and value

• Literature, poetry and criticism

As part of the overall festival this year we are also going to have a variety of free “experiences” for anyone to attend over the three days. We look forward to sharing more about this in due course.

The timetable goes live November 20 - follow us on Instagram for announcements.
