Welcome to Groundswell 2023, a convergence of music, art, film, and culture, nestled in the vibrant community of Brookvale Arts District (BAD). This year’s pilot event promises to attract an all ages audience, as in our well designed program, there really is something for everyone.
Groundswell unfolds over four exhilarating days, transforming the industrial landscape into a pulsating hub of artistic expression, comedy, consciousness and creative exploration. With an inspiring fusion of live music performances, augmented reality art installations, family friendly activities, delicious food and beverages, captivating film screenings, and thought-provoking performance showcases (one of which just might be erotic ; ) – this block-party festival is set to rock the 2100 postcode.
Surf Film aficionados are in for a treat this year with a selection of Surf cinematic masterpieces planned to be showcased, open air style. Engaging panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and interactive workshops provide a platform for dialogue and exploration of the evolving landscape of Surf cinema.
A hallmark of Groundswell is its commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. With eco-friendly initiatives, renewable energy solutions, and an emphasis on minimising waste, the festival aims to leave a positive impact on both the local community and the planet.
Prepare to be swept away by the experience that is Groundswell, where the Northern Beaches most influential creatives, visionaries, and performers unite – to create a cultural movement that aims to inspire a more global community.
