From the perspective of an artist too, we were welcomed incredibly warmly and treated incredibly well, which can really affect how you play on the day

I thought the 2 Worlds Festival was truly unique and inspiring

It was a positive experience on many levels - we felt so well looked after and the Festival Staff were second to none.

This kind of event give me a lot of faith we can create real change

Very welcoming and inclusive

Sharing the diversity of our cultures is integral for cultural strengthening within our own mobs, not just the wider audience

The mix of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers with other backgrounds - so it truly felt like a space for reconciliation without trying too hard.

I played the 2 Worlds Festival in Geelong the other week. The intent was to bring Indigenous artists and non-Indigenous artists together and that was about the best festival I have played in 30 years, it was amazing. It was really wonderful.

I think 2 Worlds is an exceptional cultural event, one that I will remember for a long time and one that I hope will continue to showcase, inspire and educate.

On a cultural level, we genuinely feel that this festival deserves a big future."
