Make/shift is a festival of future-making in and around Walyalup Fremantle.
At its heart is the idea that the future is something we make, and that if we want just, sustainable, and joyful futures, we need to challenge the ones we're being offered and roll up our sleeves to make better ones.
The two-week festival includes:
A diverse public program of creative events, exhibitions, and performances offering a taste of the futures we could make.
A conversation series taking on the biggest questions of our times with the help of some of our brightest minds.
The Make/shift Summit as the festival’s grand finale: a one-day assembly on future-making strategy and practice.
Full program coming soon!

Something feels different. To a lot of us it seems like the world is getting faster and more confusing instead of better, the future isn’t something to look forward to anymore, and our change work has lost its energy. A lot of days we feel overwhelmed and isolated, as futures we don’t like are decided by someone else.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Make/shift is about questioning the futures on offer to us, and exploring the more ambitious, creative, and participatory responses we need to take on the biggest challenges of our times and build the futures we really want.
Volunteer with us!
We’re recruiting volunteers to help us make this festival a success, and we’d love to have you on board. We’re going to need all sorts of help: setting up and packing down events, capturing photos, welcoming and directing people, facilitating activities, making cups of tea, and probably a whole lot more we haven’t though of yet.
If you're keen but not sure yet what role might suit you, don't worry - please still leave your name and details and we'll be in touch.
THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS
