Multidisciplinary artist, DJ and nightlife scene favourite Soju Gang headlines a stacked celebration of First Nations music and community this NAIDOC Week in Naarm, also raising funds for the Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency.
Rooftop arts space Spiegel Haus hosts Gunuwarra: Deep Winter Rooftop Gathering on Friday July 10, promising a night of sound, culture and solidarity.
It's a community-first, free event putting First Nations talent front and centre.
TREY, FAF, PVRTAL and Fosters join Soju Gang on the decks for the night.
Drag artist 2JOOCEEE hosts the event with Jay Wymarra, Chris Saunders and special guests.
Fosters is producing the night, with Spiegel Haus Melbourne Creative Director Chris Mitchell.
"Named after Gunuwarra - the Swan and companion of Bunjil, Gunuwarra - Deep Winter Rooftop Gathering invites people this NAIDOC week to gather in culture and spirit," he said.
"Set against the concrete backdrop of a Naarm Winter, this fundraiser celebrates the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music, art, storytelling and community connection."
Melbourne's broader community are invited to get involved in the event celebrating Indigenous artists.
Naarm-based label Clothing The Gaps will have merch on the night, with donations for VACCA encouraged.
"We're really proud to support Gunuwarra at Spiegel Haus this NAIDOC Week. Henry Fosters has brought together an incredible lineup of First Nations artists and community voices," Mitchell said.
"It's great to see the space being used for something that brings people together and supports the work VACCA is doing in the community."
Gunuwarra is supported by City of Melbourne.
Elsewhere in Naarm, iconic institution in the city's nightlife Revolver Upstairs returns with their annual NAIDOC Dance on July 12, in partnership with First Nations creative and marketing agency Little Rocket.
