Across the five days

Expect a mix of:

  • artist and creative showcases

  • space to test ideas and find collaborators

Hui 2025

Last year’s Hui featured international speakers, practical workshops, funding and business sessions, artist-run initiative talks, and district-wide public showcases — an inspiring, hands-on line-up for creatives and cultural leaders in action.
