Starting from grassroots and with intersectionality and solidarity at the foundation\, the goal of Joyful Revolution is to bring radical progressive change to our political system. To call for a political system which chooses people and planet over profit.\nThe long-term plan is to curate a multi-day activist\, grass roots community led “festival styled conference” centring anti-capitalism and intersectional understanding. A space for people to learn\, knowledge/skill share\, grow cross community connections and to be joyful together while doing so.\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nP.S.\n𝐴𝑙𝑙 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒𝑠\, 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑖𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑔.

SUMMARY:Brain Storm - A Musical Journey of Recovery by Bryony Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Brain Storm is an immersive live music and storytelling experience exploring the realities of traumatic brain injury and the long road to recovery. Created by Ōtautahi singer songwriter Bryony Matthews\, the show weaves together original songs\, personal storytelling\, and evocative visuals to share a deeply human story of loss\, resilience\, and adaptation. Drawing on Bryony’s own experience of life-changing head trauma\, Brain Storm offers a rare and honest glimpse into the often-unseen challenges of living with an acquired brain injury. Featuring music from Bryony’s upcoming concept album\, the performance unfolds across six chapters\, tracing a journey through injury\, uncertainty\, healing\, and renewal. Atmospheric soundscapes and intimate storytelling combine to create an experience that is both deeply personal and widely relatable. Moving\, insightful\, and ultimately hopeful\, Brain Storm invites audiences to step into a world rarely spoken about and gain a deeper understanding of the realities of living with brain injury. \nMusic written by Bryony Matthews \nSoundscapes by Joshua Holmes \nVisuals by Nicholas Ahu \n

SUMMARY:OPIUO
DESCRIPTION:OPIUO returns to Christchurch after a 4 year hiatus. \nJoin us for a funk fuelled basstastic evening of good vibes and tasty sonic treats at the Sydenham Underpass – Friday 14 August. DOORS at 2000. \nOpiuo is a genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses. Born in 1984 in ruralNew Zealand\, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held. This extremely formative growth surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa’s electronic music scene exposed him to the celebration of life through self-expression\, dance\, and giant soundsystems. These experiences shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today. Positivity and movement at the core of the project\, his music is an infectious electronic based blend of funk\, soul\, psychedelia\, and booty-shaking bass. \nNow calling Australia home\, Oscar tours his party-starting music throughout the globe. Havingspent more than a decade performing at some of the world’s most renowned festivals and venues including Lollapalooza\, Glastonbury\, and Coachella\, as well as selling out Colorado’s famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre multiple times\, he’s performed his music in an unimaginably large array of formats. From self-built Orchestras\, to collaborating with symphony choirs\, touring his own Opiuo Band\, and as an immersive solo audio & visual show\, his live creativity is limitless. \nTaking home the New Zealand Music Award for Best Electronic Album in 2014\, his catalogue isvast. Having released 6 full-length albums\, 10 EPs\, and a myriad of singles and remixes overthe last 14 years. In his own words\, he is still “just getting started!”. \n
