Yirramboi means 'Tomorrow' in the shared languages of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nations Melbourne, Australia.

Guided by key principles of First Nations' Leadership, New Work, Visibility and Dialogue.

Yirramboi 2017:

'In May 2017, the City of Melbourne, in partnership with First Nations People and Creative Victoria, hosted a city-wide ‘blak out’, a moving celebration of local and international Indigenous-led dance, music, visual art, theatre, film, talks and more. 

'The festival included more than 60 events over ten days, delivered by 370+ First Nations artists in Melbourne’s laneways, public spaces and arts venues from 5 to 14 May 2017.

'The festival was co-created with First Nations people and all works were created, choreographed, produced, directed and performed by Indigenous artists. The festival was supported by YIRRAMBOI's Elders Council of Kulin Nations people, and celebrated more than 60,000 years of continuous artistic and cultural practice.'
