Perth Festival: Karla Bidi

Every year, Perth Festival takes over Boorloo’s art institutions. This year, they’re also taking to the skies and riverways.

Karla Bidi (meaning Fire Trail) will transform the Derbarl Yerrigan into an illuminated pathway with large beacons of light stretching from the hills to the sea.

Inspired by the Noongar tradition of lighting fires to greet and guide visitors, each beacon is a campfire, a glowing symbol of welcome, warmth, safety and inclusivity. See them light up the night for the duration of the Festival, welcoming you to join us and be part of something truly extraordinary.

No tickets, no theatre seats – just the sky and the beautiful riverbank, light sculptures and soundscapes designed specifically for the place.

Ilona McGuire, Jacob Nash, Chloe Ogilvie & Ian Wilkes are the creative team behind Karla Bidi and Ilona joins Breakfast’s Pam Boland to discuss the installation.
