We are also proud to announce that we will be supporting Gua Africa at this event. Donations can be made at the Power Hip Hop events or directly to the organisation via their website.
About Gua:
GUA Africa was founded by Emmanuel Jal, an ex-child soldier turned rap artist. The word GUA (pronounced gwaah) means peace in Nuer, a tribal language of Southern Sudan.
Our mission is to work with individuals, families and communities to help them overcome the effects of war and poverty. Each of our projects focus on providing an education to children and young adults who would otherwise be denied such opportunity. Currently our work is in Kenya and Sudan, however in the future we would like to expand into other areas of Sub-Saharan Africa - working with other experienced partner organisations where ever opportunities arise.
In April 2008 we were granted full UK charity status and later the same year we received our NGO registration in South Sudan.
As a number of our rappers are former refugees from Sudan, many of whose families and friends are still in Sudan, we thought it pertinent and important that we support this excellent cause.

About Lightning Bolt
After 15 years of waiting, and praying, Lightning Bolt are finally touring Australia!
Hailing from Rhode Island, USA, Lightning Bolt is a noise rock duo consisting of bassist Brian Gibson and drummer Brian Chippendale. Last we left this amplified tribe of two on 2005s Hypermagic Mountain, Lightning Bolt were tossing thousand of years worth of musical history into a wood chipper and coming up with some chewy chainsaw taffy. The new album, Earthly Delights, embarks on a musical journey that will take you to places both divine and sublime.
Lightning Bolt are presented by Heathen Skulls and Street Press Australia.
Supported by the Premier’s Arts Partnership Fund.
The Hobart Fringe Festival is on again!
With all sorts of events and happenings and goings-on, there really is something for everyone to get involved with. From the traditional Super 8 contest (which I happen to be on the judging panel for!) to the Night Market to Bust-a-Move Physical theatre workshops.
You can download the full program here. Or find a copy in your local bar or cafe.
The Hobart Fringe Inc. is a not for profit organisation. The primary aim of the group is to organise an annual community arts festival. The focus of the festival is experimental, emerging and multi-disciplinary art.
We aim to showcase the talent that hasn’t yet made it in our arts adverse, commercial world, bringing attention to those inhabiting the margins that would otherwise be left unnoticed.
A brand new website!
A brand new logo!
Exciting!
