Conference of the Birds is a community-based event inspired by the artistic talents, resilience & community spirit of the people of the Latrobe Valley & South Gippsland. 

 

The pilgrimage explores country, survival & belonging created in collaboration with First Nations peoples, artists & the broader community & celebrates the beautiful bird-life on lands we call home. .

After the highly successful pilot event in Centenary Park in May 2024, 

'Conference of the Birds' returns to Boolarra in May 2025 with an exciting new production.
