Adelaide Festival 2002

Established 40 years ago, the Adelaide Festival of Arts is acknowledged as one of the world's great arts festivals. 40 years on, our culture and our community are vastly more diverse, and new technologies and new demographics open fantastic new possibilities for wider and deeper levels of participation.

Adelaide Festival 2002 brings together cultures from around the world, all of them evolving and emerging anew. Dynamic and different, Adelaide Festival 2002 is about more than simply buying a ticket, taking your seat and waiting to be entertained. It is about embarking on someone else's journey only to realise that it is your journey too, about being moved to act and respond.

Adelaide Festival 2002 is about creating new shared maps so that we can chart our destiny. It's about a journey into humanity. And it's about time.
