“It’s a form of creating intercultural understanding through art and creativity and bringing people together.”
There will be plenty to keep the kids busy with a face-painter, balloon-artist and games, as well as entertainment from talented South Australian artists including DyspOra and Elsy Wameyo form Playback 808, Hannah Yates, International Revival Gospel Choir and Penelope Shum and the Soul Council.

Sparrow will use the art form of graffiti to promote change and unify voices, while creating a beautiful space for the community.
“I like to play around more with patterns, animals and faces that really represents where I come from and also represents the people,” Sparrow said.
“The event will be opportunity to listen to music, dance and create.”
