WOW Australia 2020

The Festival that Never Was

Like many events around the world, our 2020 festival was cancelled due to Covid-19, just three weeks out from the event.

Here is the program, where you can see the range and breadth of the conversations that were to come, and explore the festival events scheduled for the 6-8 April 2020 at the beautiful Brisbane Powerhouse.

Whilst saddened and disappointed at this turn of events, WOW Australia executed a digital pirouette, making sure that artists continued to be commissioned, that connections were facilitated, that the necessary conversations were had: working in with our wider WOW community across the world for #wowglobal24; creating a digital portal of great content on our website - 'The Well'; producing DomestiCITY - three Covid-safe events at Brisbane Festival - and turning each event into a series of short films so that you too can step inside the homes of Brisbane women; and finally, holding Think Ins with communities the length and breadth of Queensland in preparation for our 2021 season.
