PUNQ 2024

PUNQ is a biennial place-making festival which activates and engages with spaces, histories, and futures through art. It celebrates the distinct landscapes of North Queensland to inspire cultural exchange and reimagine expectations, transform perceptions and provide unique creative experiences for locals and visitors alike. The festival presents immersive journeys across North Queensland on Gurambilbarra (Townsville), Yunbenun (Magnetic Island), Warrgamay, Nywaigi & Bandjin Country (Hinchinbrook) and Gudjal Country (Charters Towers). The festival elevates innovative and exciting arts and cultural practices of the region, while also providing a platform for regional artists to reach new. The site-specific commissions featuring artworks produced by established First Nations and Australian artists were set in significant natural environments in the North Queensland region.
