A guide to Horizon festival by Nikita newley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nikita Newley is a self-taught, second generation, artist and proud First Nations woman from all parts of Queensland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently living on Gubbi Gubbi Country, Nikita was born on Gurang Gurang Country, with heritage connected to Wuthati tribe and Darumbal people. She found her passion creating art through her emotions and cultural connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were curious what Nikita was excited for in the program \u2014 so we went ahead and asked her. Below are her picks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

dawn awakening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I first moved back to the coast my now husband spoke about Dawn Awakening<\/em>. I was so intrigued and excited to see it and now, after a couple of crazy years, we get this amazing opportunity to experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I remember seeing Steven Oliver when I was just 16 at a First Nations student event with my school on Bribie Island. I’m looking forward to a good laugh \u2014 it’s his Intellectual comedic approach to his stand-up that keeps me so interested years later. One of my favourite charters from Black Comedy on the ABC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the beautiful visuals in the exhibition and I\u2019m always looking for more ways to learn about the country I love and live on while I bring up my family \u2014 making sure I\u2019m always staying connected to the Traditional Custodians. Hearing the stories and experiencing this offering on country is so special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

songs of gaia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What can I say? I\u2019m a sucker for instrumentals. As an artist, I find myself getting lost in all sorts of different music. Songs of GAIA will be a wonderful way to get lost in sound as the sun goes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconnect \u2014 Kim Schoenberger <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Excited to express myself in a new artist practice and have an artist show me a different way of creating. I enjoy Kim\u2019s work. I feel connected to the way it\u2019s shared and seen. Playing with a different medium is also refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
