PACT Centre for Emerging Artists has today announced Sound Out the Street, a new series of free and accessible street activations presented in Erskineville from 23 December 2022 – 30 April 2023. On the last Friday of every month, musicians, artists and performers will fill the streets and shopfronts of Erskineville at sunset with surprising pop-up performances, live music and dance. The program culminates in a vibrant three-day event presented from 28 – 30 April 2023.

The inaugural Sound Out the Street event will be held on Friday 23 December 2022, celebrating the end of the year with highlight performances and installations by West African dancer and choreographer Lucky Lartey, young Western Sydney dance group Pioneers, and a sound installation by multidisciplinary arts group Famili who descend from Pasifika, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as a live broadcast by Koori Radio, Sydney’s only First Nations radio station.
