-TOPIA Festival 2026

About

The veil grows thin. The portal opens. A third -TOPIA unfolds across three realms of sound, vision and movement. In this fleeting world between worlds, becoming is the only way through. Dive headfirst into an exploration of the inbetween, the liminal, and the imagined. 【 -𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙄𝘼 】 The -TOPIA experience returns for its third year: this time, a multidisciplinary meditation on existence and what lies beyond. Marking the third festival and ninth installment of Tessellate Club’s art and music series, -TOPIA will once again transform the Abbotsford Convent into a living canvas of sound, performance, art and play. Surrender to transform. Unravel to become. Supported by Abbotsford Convent _________________________ This year, we have introduced the Community Support Ticket: an optional contribution for those who wish to support the future of -TOPIA. This offering helps sustain our grassroots, self-funded festival, support emerging artists, and continue building a world beyond the ordinary. An allocation of free tickets has been reserved for First Nations attendees. Please get in contact via Instagram (@tessellate.club) _________________________ -TOPIA takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present, and recognise that sovereignty of this land was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
