Wild Gloriosa 

Audiences are in for a treat, when award-winning Tamil-Australian artist Wild Gloriosa brings her captivating blend of neo-soul, R&B, and jazz to the Open Space stage. With music grounded in self-love, identity and community, her performances are transformative. With South Indian roots and a Singaporean upbringing, Wild Gloriosa’s journey spans diverse landscapes. Raised in a household where music was a way to connect with the community, she uses songwriting as a canvas for sharing messages with the world.  

Internationally acclaimed veena virtuoso Hari Sivanesan will lead a joyful and genre-blending set inspired by Bharat and Bollywood.  A boundary-pushing artist with a global career, Hari fuses South Indian classical with contemporary sounds, creating music that is both rich in tradition and bold in experimentation.  

Studio J will bring to the Plaza a stunning selection of performances inspired by regional dance styles and the timeless elegance of the sari. Featuring the talented Studio J teachers, their incredible students, and the powerhouse Sapphire Dance team, this showcase promises rhythm, grace, and a whole lot of sparkle — a true celebration of India’s diversity through dance.  

Kerfew is a creative collective showcasing South Asian culture, music and art through events, workshops, media and mutual aid. The collective has ethnically diverse multi-faceted members residing throughout the country. Much of our focus is around club/music events, with both live performers and DJ’s, visual art and design as well as community and connection.

Kerfew Collective's Dj's will be setting the mood throughout the evening so bring your crew, grab a bite from the food trucks and stay for a night of culture, creativity and connection.   

Audiences can also enjoy extended hours in the Gallery to celebrate the Australian debut of the blockbuster touring exhibition The Offbeat Sari.
