2027 THEME

SUPERHIGHWAY: Country Sings to Stars Dancing

Superhighway speaks to the vast living networks that have continuously existed across Countries; connecting Cultures and knowledge. It is a vortex of memory, movement and energy, guiding our purposes into the future. The theme Superhighway beckons us towards deep time and infinity. It is our divine duty to care for, and contribute to, our infinite keeping place.

The phrase “Country Sings to Stars Dancing” evokes the connection of our lands, seas and skies. Through this interconnectivity, First Nations peoples continue to learn from this ‘mirror world ’–it is the wisdom written in the cosmos reflecting the memories held by Country.

Our cultural information highway brings the old ways through to new expressions, across generations, technologies and practices. Here, Culture is not a commodity, it is a responsibility; a living system of knowledge, values, relationships and beliefs.

Superhighway holds the tension between memory and motion, tradition and transformation. This is the story of resilience and continuity, of dancing through the seasons of time. It is a reminder of where we come from, who we are, and where we are headed.
