The Four Winds festival has announced its 2022 festival program, which this year takes the theme of Common Ground. Over the Easter long weekend (15–17 April), the small south coast town of Bermagui will play host to three days of diverse performances, inviting audiences to connect with the picturesque surroundings and with each other.

“This has been a punishing year. And in a weird way, I think there’s some real cracks dividing people in this moment, and I think it’s a really tricky time. I think everyone’s a little bit more rattled than last year because there has just been so little respite in between. And so Common Ground is the things that we can do to connect with each other and to be in the world happily and peacefully. And the common ground that we share, I think, is something we ought to be focusing on,” Four Winds Creative Director Lindy Hume tells Limelight.
