“GLIMPSE the Gift of Diversity” was the theme for this year’s Sacrededge Festival at Queenscliff.

Sacrededge builds community among and with First Nations People, Refugees, the LGBTIQ community, the earth and nurtures a spirituality of diversity and wellbeing.

From May 4 to 6, the festival welcomed artists and musicians such as Namila Benson, who is the producer for Life Matters on Radio National and is passionate about inclusion of diverse race, ability and gender.

Peter Waples-Crowe – an artist and stolen generation gay man who now works at the Victorian AIDS Council – and Para Paheer, who had a heartbreaking story of fleeing Sri Lanka, spoke with Ali Corke about the Power of Good People.

The community festival celebrated its fifth year.
