Vision Australia Radio is proud to announce that we will be an Access and Inclusion partner to Midsumma Festival in 2024. 

Midsumma is Australia's premier queer arts and cultural organisation, bringing together a diverse mix of LGBTQIA+ artists, performers, communities and audiences.

In 2024, Midsumma Festival, will run over 22 days with an explosion of queer events that centre around hidden and mainstream queer culture, involving local, interstate, and international artists.

Vision Australia Radio is making the event more accessible to people living with blindness, low vision or print-disability, by producing an audio version of the programme guide (available at midsumma.org), promoting audio described shows and related tactile tours in the lead up to and during the festival, as well as hosting our first ever live outside broadcast from Midsumma Carnival Day on January 21.

In this interview, Behind the Scenes presenter Chris Thompson catches up with Midsumma's Artist Development Manager, Harriet Devlin along with newly appointed Midsumma Community Ambassador, Karan Nagrani to discuss the festival and the hard work that's gone into making the summer favorite more inclusive than ever before.
