Queenstown is a rugged, historic mining town on the West Coast of Lutruwita / Tasmania, with a population of just 1,808 people. And yet, its biennial festival – The Unconformity – has quickly garnered a reputation for its daring, place-responsive programming, attracting international artists over its 15-year run.
Organisers call it ‘uncompromising’, adding that one can expect this year to be immersed by, ‘semaphore signals at dawn and artworks etched in Queenstown’s famous acidic orange river, to rogue late-night sonic experiments with headliner cameos, and a fierce football match played on gravel, The Unconformity is a festival that defies definition.’
