THE ART OF THE FLANEUR

The experience is grounded in the CREATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP that FLOAT is built on. All participants will be equipped with their own NATURE JOTTING satchel that will help them look, listen, snap, and scribble their en-route notes and pix from which we will assemble and install a pop-up gallery + zine created by our flaneurs.

ARTISTS + FLANEURS WHO’LL BE JOINING US

FOOD THE WAY WE LIKE IT

The journey culminates at Sailor’s Grave Brewing / Dunetown (Cape Conran) – where you can camp on after we’re done if you feel like it.. Flaneurs will be mingling with some of Australia's leading voices for regenerative place makers and sustainability influencers over the final weekend.

NOTE: This venture will converge with FLOAT’s 4th Feral MBA - at Dunetown, Cape Conran. FMBA is the annual (radical) arts program that we’ve conceived and delivered in Lakes Entrance. https://www.float3909.com/feral-mba Full of the best arts activators, changemakers and influencers we know.

And as our first of many future ventures – our plan is to capture all of this on paper, film, audio, maps, notes to create the best Far East story possible. We’d love you to be a part of it. Help us create the change for regen tourism. Be a gentle and generous traveller.
