Julian Hovenden
The Land of Rah is an Eora-based collaborative world-building project run by Julian Hovenden. Through concept albums with paired artworks the lore of this fantasy world has been steadily growing and the branches of its history intertwining. Eclectic live shows, galleries & hyper-collaborative (20+ artist) studio albums; the open arms policy of this project since its inception in 2019 has led to a beautiful community forming.
Sunrise Sessions
Imagine a future where Australia’s greatest national exports are culture and creativity. In this session, Blackbird Foundation shares the story of a new generation of worldbuilders - young people who are using passion, imagination and creativity to shape the future. It’s a call to arms for anyone holding capital, influence, or belief: to back young people to shape the world they’re going to live in. Come hear how we’re building the scaffolding for a more creative nation - and why investing in the next generation might just be the most transformational thing you do.
