Chatty Bench Festival acknowledges the Turrbal and Yuggera people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this work was made. We acknowledge all the people of the lands that make this work possible. We recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters, and communities of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We pay our respect to Elders, past, present and emerging, and commit to standing with our First Nations people.

THE CHATTY BENCHES

The Chatty Benches are everything in this project. They will be the sites of storytelling, performance, dance, drama, chats, and more. This way they become a place of conversation, connection and collaboration in Kelvin Grove.

You will find the Chatty Benches in Kulgun Park (see map of benches & Google Map below).

You know the bench is a Chatty Bench when you find the top three slats are in orange paint. You will also soon see posters on it as well.

Come make the festival!


Special thanks to Brisbane City Council for supporting this placemaking tactic in Kelvin Grove Urban Village.
