Cross the political divide with Canadian-born artist Deborah Pearson as she navigates the personal, local and global political landscape. Over the course of Next Wave Festival, Deborah observes newly conservative Australia through a series of one-on-one conversations with conservative voters in the form of a co-piloted canoe ride. The project culminates with this special Breakfast Club event examining Australia’s conversation between left and right, and looking to further understand what it means to identify with a country, a group, or a side of the brain.

With your political compasses at the ready, join Deborah, Liberal politician (and canoe rider) Nick McGowan, and sociologist Professor John Carroll.

Start your weekends with big ideas, breakfast by Yoghurt Culture and coffee from Small Batch by donation.

Next Wave Breakfast Club

Kickstart your brain with a dose of stimulation courtesy of Next Wave. Breakfast Club is your morning shot of artistic and intellectual insight. We’re not interested in expert-led formats or a room full of people thinking the same things; we want big opinions, good discussion and personal stories.
