BIGSOUND Details Its First Nations Goolwal Goolwal Program for 2023
BIGSOUND has shared details of its First Nations program Goolwal Goolwal, with discussions, in-conversation sessions, forums, networking mixers, and showcases taking place across the week in Brisbane. Goolwal Goolwal has been curated by Cultural Lead Dan Rennie, BIGSOUND First Nations Music Officer Sue Ray, and Elder In Residence Uncle Kev Starkey.
Goolwal Goolwal programming will be woven throughout the broader BIGSOUND events, with sessions taking place at Yutta Yutta-Ba (House of First People) in Queens on Brunswick Street, the Judith Wright Arts Centre, and other various venues around Fortitude Valley.

Most notably, Ziggy Ramo and Christine Anu will sit down for an in-conversation session to discuss their careers, politics, and beyond, while Leah Flanagan will host Māori (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine) singer Bic Runga for a talk titled ‘Reclaiming Cultural Identity Through Music’.
There’ll also be networking events like the Goolwal X Yirramboi mixer and the Goolwal Goolwal Feast for Unity, while Brunswick street venue Greaser Garage will become the Goolwal Garage for the week, showcasing emerging First Nations talent. Spotify will also host two First Nations events across the week, including a Spotify For Mob workshop.
“BIGSOUND 2023 promises to deliver the most diverse and inclusive program to date, embodying a sense of unity and inspiration and providing a culturally safe space for all attendees,” Dan Rennie said in a statement.
“Our lineup of Artists represents an extraordinary blend of cultures and genres, with First Nations-led discussions providing a platform for increased visibility and recognition of talent and for deepening understanding and cultural insights.”
