The Unconformity

More Information

The Unconformity is a contemporary arts festival exploring the unique paradoxes of Queenstown, in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia.

Walk the landscape, meet the people. Become disoriented, be provoked, feel your perceptions being challenged. And, find something of yourself, within a cultural frontier that exists on the edge, in wild Western Lutruwita/Tasmania.

Inspired by a rare geological unconformity and the non-conforming nature of our community, The Unconformity is a biennial, four-day festival of site-specific cultural activities that cast new perceptions and opportunities for Queenstown, a remote post-industrial mining town in Western Lutruwita/Tasmania.
