With regular visits to the West Coast, this newly­-developed role is intended to strengthen the organisation's communications and partnerships, helping to promote activities, events, programs and festivals, and engaging with the community and varied partners.
Twelve months ago, The Unconformity festival was cancelled on its opening day due to a snap three-day lockdown. Artistic Director Travis Tiddy recollects that moment in time in this article written for The Unconformity’s publishing platform, MOONLAND. moonland.theunconformity.com…
Festival workers and community members wearing a mix of red, pink, hi-vis orange, grey, blue and black clothing walk down the main street of Queenstown amongst wooden tables and benches, a black marquee with wooden fencing and a tall metal structure housing a projector. Among them is a person pushing a trolley of items while unloading a white van with the back doors open. The photo is taken from the middle of Orr Street in Queenstown with houses, trees and the grey rockface of Mount Owen in the background.
