The Alter State digital launch event will take place from 9 – 13 November 2021.

The inaugural Alter State festival is planned for late 2022.

Co-founded and presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Arts Access Victoria, Alter State is a major arts and disability festival engaging artists and audiences from Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Alter State is:

• A deep exploration of art from our region
• A space for kōrero, yarning and storytelling shaped by disability
• The presentation of work that audiences rarely experience

Alter State was first imagined by independent artists who explored the possibilities for the festival to:

• Honour Deaf and Disabled artists
• Honour First Nations cultures
• Challenge ideas about disability
• Shape the future of art and performance
