FODI 2026 Artist Call-Out - Festival of Dangerous Ideas

The Festival of Dangerous Ideas (FODI) 2026 is seeking artists across multiple disciplines to submit proposals for inclusion alongside the programmed talks schedule. Under the full-time direction of Danielle Harvey, this festival celebrates bold ideas, fearless art, and necessary conversations that challenge conventional wisdom. The festival takes place from August 21-23, 2026 in Sydney and promises a program of live performance, panels, installations and cultural provocations that challenge, confront and inspire. Harvey, known for her instinctive, genre-defying curatorial style that blurs lines between performance, politics and provocation, is looking for artists who can contribute to the festival's mission to 'disrupt the comfortable and comfort the disrupted.' The opportunity is open to artists working in performance, installation, digital art, spoken word and other creative disciplines. FODI exists as a platform for urgent voices and risky ideas, particularly at a time when public discourse is under threat and cultural spaces are shrinking. This is an opportunity to be part of a festival that refuses to retreat from difficult conversations and places provocation at the center of its mission.
