Archie Roach & Paul Kelly To Headline Powerful New Concert, 'Uprising: Songs Of Survival'

Uprising: Songs Of Survival is a new concert presented by the Museum of Inherited Memories and curated by Siân Darling, which features Australian Jewish and Indigenous artists.

The show takes place on the eve of Yom Hashoah: Holocaust Remembrance and Heroism Day, the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

In a press statement, the power of the event was explained, stating, "Before we begin our 24 hours of mourning and memorial, we are reminded that as survivors and their descendants, we flourish and hold our heads high.

"The Indigenous Peoples of this continent known as ‘Australia’ are vital survivors of genocide and ongoing oppression. The land was never ceded and this must be remembered by all who call it home.

"The continent offered a safe harbour to displaced Jewish refugees after they survived genocide in the diaspora. Together, we sing to celebrate survival and remember the promise, ‘never again’."

Performing at the show is Paul Kelly and Archie Roach as headliners, alongside Deborah Conway with Willy & Hettie Zygier, Jess Hitchcock, Gabriella Cohen, Emily Lubitz, Djirri Djirri Dance Group, Nadav Kahn, Syd Zygier, Galit Klas, Jessica Chapnik Kahn. Madi Colville-Walker and more.

It takes place on the 26th of April at the Memo Music Hall in St Kilda.
