A talented team of artists will illuminate Collingwood Yards and Gertrude Street in this year's (GSPF). Now in its 14th year, GSPF will feature stories of care, vulnerability and tenderness, consistent with the festival's theme, A Soft Pulse.



Presented by Centre for Projection Art , GSPF is a not-for-profit, contemporary arts festival that provides sustainable benefits to Australian artists. The focus is on contemporary projection, new media, and interactive digital art.

Works from sculptors, film-makers, installation artists, craft, photographers, animators, musicians, dance, choreography and performance and arts educators will feature, with each bringing their unique practice to GSPF.

CEO of Centre for Projection Art Priya Namana said:I am in awe of the enthusiasm, commitment and love towards this festival and how it brings together so many different big and small elements. The importance of creating a care-based economy, community and connections became so pertinent in the last two years. This year's festival has a combination of the new and old team working together and as a first-time festival director working within this context at an intersection of public and private, and new media with spatial practice, this has been such a space of generosity and learning. I am so thrilled to share this with the broader community.

On the opening night of Thursday 28 July, there will be campfires and storytelling in partnership with First Nations storytelling app Yalinguth, featuring musicians, poets, projections and soundscapes in the Atherton Gardens, directed by Jason Tamiru. Tamiru is a proud Yorta Yorta man passionate about his people and culture. This free event will take place in Atherton Gardens from 6-8pm. Food and refreshments will be available on the night. Please note this will be an alcohol-free event. Click here for more information and to register.



Friday 29 July sees the commencement of a Conversation Series. For example, at 1pm, there is A Soft Pulse , a session in which artists will talk about the way in which care features in their practices. Tickets are $9.53 – $16.91 (which includes light refreshments and food), and you can purchase tickets online here .

Highlights on Saturday 30 July include La Boite choir on Gertrude Street from 7-8 pm, and Felix Meredith jamming with the projection artworks from 6-9pm.



On Sunday 31 July the closing night block party at Collingwood Yards, in partnership with Hope St Radio, will feature a line-up of some of the best local DJs.
