ONTD Original: NAIDOC Week
Hey ONTD! It s NAIDOC week over here so lets celebrate with some excellent Indigenous Australian and Torres Straight music!
Firstly, what s NAIDOC week you ask? Well NAIDOC week in its current form was established back in the early 1970s but can be tied back to the protest movement known as the Day of Mourning in 1938. While the Day of Mourning was a protest on the way white Australia had treated and seized the land of the original custodians, NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) is a celebration of history, culture and achievements of Indigenous Australians and Torres Straight Islanders, the longest living continuous culture in the world.
Eight unmissable gigs to see at Live at the Bowl this January
Words by Eva Marchingo
The outdoor summer concert series is reinvigorating Melbourne’s live entertainment scene.
From January, Melbourne’s beloved Sidney Myer Music Bowl will be transformed into a hotspot (the good kind) of the best live acts in Australia.
A joint initiative by Arts Centre Melbourne and the Victorian government, Live at the Bowl will play host to a series of Australian events and performances held over several weeks.
This season of celebration will help us rediscover the joy of live music and shared experiences, this time in a COVID-Safe environment. Expect to see social distancing, an abundance of hand sanitiser, QR codes for mobile phone registration, and regular cleaning, all to keep punters safe.
