Vivid Corals surfaces for the first time with a diverse live/DJ microcosm of the obscure ecosystems these artists inhabit.

Inspired by the interconnectedness of life on Sea Country, a night of varying sonics has been carefully curated as a living system - Function from connection, not control... Space from presence, not design... Resilience from diversity, not uniformity... and Energy from exchange, not hierarchy.

Moving from listening room to body music, the programme will naturally meander between a multitude of genres, with entropy and self-organisation intrinsic to this movement. Join us at Naarm's DIY epicentre 'SPIT' (central Footscray) for an evening of subtidal inspired oddities and support cultural burning and native wildlife rehabilitation in the wake of the ongoing bushfires across so-called Victoria.

Fundraiser details:
All proceeds from tickets sales going directly to a bushfire relief fund split equally between Firesticks Alliance and Wildlife Victoria.

@firesticks.alliance are an indigenous-led not-for-profit that supports First Nations communities in restoring and strengthening capacity of traditional custodianship on Country through cultural burns, knowledge exchange and community building.

Firesticks have overcome many barriers over the last 10 years to empower First Peoples in restoring health and identity of Country and continue to do so in order to bring Cultural Fire to the forefront of environmental conservation.

@wildlifevictoria are the only statewide 24/7 wildlife emergency response service. The have a diverse team of in-field veterinarians, nurses, wildlife rehabilitators and rescue and transport volunteers.

Being funded predominantly by donations, Wildlife Victoria desperately need our support to continue providing acute, lifesaving work for our native species, who’s habitat has been completely decimated (yet again) due to the ongoing bushfires.

Vivid Corals acknowledges it’s existence and presence operating on stolen, unceded sovereign lands, the lands of Wurundjeri-Woiwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation and the lands of Muwinina peoples of Nipaluna and Melurkedee peoples of Taluna/Tahun’e-linah, both of the Southeast Tribe of Lutruwita. We acknowledge, honour and pay respects to their elders past, present and future, and extend that respect to all First Nations and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We firmly honour First Peoples enduring and resilient connection and custodianship of the land, seas and skies in which we gather on, are inspired by and form connections from. Importantly we recognise our impact living within and benefiting from colonial structures and commit to fighting as allies to First Peoples for the destruction of all forms of colonialism and imperialism.

Country has immemorially been a place of interconnected culture, community and ceremony and we promise to work towards upholding those values when curating space and intention for our events. This statement hopes to act as a reminder of the history and traditions of storytelling and musicianship practiced by First Peoples and that this inspires us as we gather in collective catharsis and movement.

Let this also be a call to stand together as accomplices to the ongoing fight against systematic oppression of all First Peoples, within so-called Australia and beyond - and commit to doing so not just through words, but meaningful action and community building.
