Some people just simply have the magic touch for creating serious design goodness.
Our designer Riley is one of them, and with our May issue, we’re unveiling Forte’s latest glow-up, with a refreshing new design that’s dynamic, eye-catching, modern and most importantly, easy to navigate and read. It’s *Chef’s Kiss*
Beyond our fresh new look, as we head towards National Reconciliation Week this month, we’re turning our attention to the Geelong Arts Centre and some of the incredible First Peoples-led events coming to the region. Bringing First Nations voices and stories to the forefront, there are powerful cultural conversations and an experimental contemporary immersive performance in a pub to Muruwari playwright Jane Harrison’s new Australian play The Visitors, a powerful imaginative response to the beginnings of modern Australia.
It also might be worthwhile exploring what’s in store for mid-May Forte. We feature candid interviews with Australian music royalty Kate Ceberano, Geelong-based five-piece Celtic punk band The Go Set and alt-pop-rock national treasures Kisschasy, rundowns on events like Black and Blues Festival, Geelong Women’s Business Event and Wanderer Festival, as well as a look at Geelong’s new independent record store, Popcultcha Records.
We’ve also got our usual round-up of gigs, exhibitions, stage shows, venues and albums out and about – with pages of glorious food, music and event suggestions for you to immerse yourself in.
Take a seat and strap in, you’re in for a ride.
