Unpopular Culture
Theme for the 2004 Festival was UNPOPULAR CULTURE and was designed to encourage a range of responses to current day issues and youth culture. Artistic Director, Marcus Westbury, who was in the demographic of festival artists, embraced Melbourne’s inner-city laneways, old Dojos and empty buildings. Highlights included the Festival Club, which presented the first ever Freeplay conference, the Containers at Federation Square program, and Colliding Worlds – a major regional program. In all 600 artists participated in 90 projects that attracted massive audiences and inspired a new generation of young Next Wave participants.
