A guide to Horizon festival by the editor of frankie magazine, Emma do.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emma was busy working on the latest issue of frankie when we spoke but kindly gave us her guide to the festival \u2014 and its a goodun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As frankie editor, Emma’s job mainly consists of coming up with ideas and vaguely bossing people around, as well as writing, interviewing, sourcing content and proofing the mag. (Plus lots of other frankie-related bits.) Emma is a big fan of Syd The Kid\u2019s sultry tones, pooch-filled calendars and the refreshing scent of cucumber, but has no time for gusty wind or folks who talk over people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with that said: here’s what Emma is hyped for at Horizon this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

open air: emily wurramara in concert with andrea kirwin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a big fan of Emily Wurramara\u2019s music \u2014 her songs are so calming, and she sounds like a literal angel in concert, strumming her guitar. I\u2019m also digging Andrea Kirwin\u2019s soulful voice. Hearing the two of them play would be a lovely way to spend a Thursday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

risofest 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trust me when I say I bloody love riso! You know a riso print when you see it: they\u2019re lo-fi, slightly grainy and have faded fluoro colours. In short: they\u2019re perfectly imperfect. The risograph printer was actually made for cheap photocopies, but artists now use it to print all kinds of rad work. If you don\u2019t believe me, just get down to RISOFEST 2022 so you can admire (and buy) all the amazing riso art from local creatives. There’s also a free workshop<\/a> to learn how this vintage Japanese technology works if you feel like getting nerdy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

steven oliver: bigger & blacker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just the mere mention of a Steven Oliver show already has me cackling. If you didn\u2019t watch Steven being outrageously sassy (and sexy) on the ABC\u2019s Black Comedy<\/em>, I command you to do so at once. His latest comedy cabaret promises rapping, singing and some good-ol\u2019 booty shaking. I simply can\u2019t fault this combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the sinkers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sinkers\u2019 <\/em>ethos is something I can really get on board with: you don\u2019t have to be an Olympian to be a synchronised swimmer. In fact, you don\u2019t have to be very coordinated at all. This show, which features grandparents and youngsters alike, sounds like a gloriously fun (and heart-warming) way to spend 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

clay with robert natoli <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all obsessed with handmade pottery (for good reason), but if you want to go beyond collecting ceramic trinkets, I\u2019d highly recommend taking any opportunity you can to play with clay. Pottery is such a therapeutic and satisfying craft, and you\u2019ll certainly learn heaps about the process in this workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
