The way things work round here: Creating space for change

In September 2013, four hundred men and women gathered in the Northern Territory town of Katherine for the Women of the World Festival (WOW) This landmark event was a partnership between one of Australia's newest and smallest cultural centres, the recently opened Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts and Culture Centre, and one of Britain's oldest and largest cultural centres, the Southbank Centre in London. WOW was created in 2011 for the centenary of International Women's Day and has become one of Southbank's annual flagship festivals. Driven by its inspirational artistic director Jude Kelly, it is an event for people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate women's achievements, and examine the obstacles that prevent them reaching their full potential.
