Rock the Block '07
Music festival for Aboriginal children's dance studio
sat 5 may
11am - 4pm
Redfern
Rock the Block is on again for 2007. The festivals, which started in ’06 have so far featured Rock, Indigenous youth & Reggae events. As well as raising money for community facilities (like a women and children’s dance studio) the events have also brought thousands of people to The Block to hear community leaders speak about Indigenous issues, advance knowledge of improvements needed & to experience the community’s cultural spirit for themselves (while enjoying great music). The events not only benefited The Block financially, but also brought a sense of optimism & artistic momentum to a community that has endured such heavy social criticism & stereotyping over a long period. Now, The Block is the only community in Sydney which is staging public festivals featuring the talents of locals & other artists, for the education and entertainment of the whole city. p: 02 9797 1339
