LIMINAL WORLD
A new season of Art in Transition.

We live in a world of thresholds.

Between languages. Between homelands. Between what was handed down and what is being made new. Between who we were and who we are becoming.

BEMAC’s 2026 season, Liminal World, invites you into that charged in-between space — not as a place of uncertainty or loss, but as a site of extraordinary creative power.

The artists in this season refuse singular categories. They exist, by choice or circumstance, in multiple worlds at once — and their work emerges from that complex, generative navigation. Through music, movement, image and story, they explore what it means to carry multiple cultures, multiple histories, multiple ways of being, and to make something entirely new from that carrying.

This is art made from the threshold. Work that doesn’t simply represent cultural diversity, but actively participates in the ongoing transformation of what it means to create, to belong, and to become — in contemporary Australia and beyond.

Step into the in-between.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

We love music and art. We believe it has the power to transform lives and communities. It brings people together, dissolves barriers and teleports us into distant lands by leading us into the very soul of culture.
