Sydney Contemporary

One of the most anticipated events on Sydney’s cultural calendar – the Opening Night, presented by Glenfiddich. Celebrations transform the fair into an immersive, all-encompassing night of art, music, performance and food. The evening features performances by Performance Contemporary artists WeiZen Ho and Rakini Devi, along with new work by Justene Williams titled She predicted the weather (2022). Featuring three performative boat sculptures with colourfully painted sails that will be rocked and swung by singing performers in sculptural weather-inspired costumes, the piece will move through the Fair.
