Featuring live performance, contemporary art, film, workshops, a two-day symposium and two parties, as well as a First Nations Deaf and Disabled Yarning Circle, Alter State 2024 is a Disability-led celebration of arts and culture co-presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Arts Access Victoria.
‘It’s important to be clear to everyone that [Alter State] doesn’t have the funding of a major festival. In two years’ time, hopefully, we’ll be able to attract more partners and more funding to make it bigger, or maybe not. Alter State may evolve to become an arts and Disability marketplace? I don’t know the future, but Alter State needs to respond to whatever the community needs at the time are to progress towards cultural equity.’
