The theme for South Australia’s History Festival 2024 is POWER.

The theme for South Australia’s History Festival 2024 is POWER.

Power means a lot of things, in a lot of places and spaces. There is power in science, power in art, power in the food we share and the clothes we wear. There is power in industry. There is power in storytelling. Above all, there is power in people.

Every single one of us has a story. Some of these stories are grand and far-reaching; others are quiet and personal, held close. Some are handed down as lasting relics; others are broadcast widely or uploaded with fleeting regard for their permanence.

We carry these stories with us; some of them are written across our faces. And every one of our stories is enmeshed with South Australia’s vibrant, living history.

Get involved in our campaign.

The 2024 Festival campaign will feature one hundred portrait photographs of one hundred South Australians. One hundred stories. One hundred pieces of South Australian history.

We are searching for everyday South Australians to populate these portraits. Do you, or someone you know, have an interesting story? We want to hear it.

This is a chance to share untold stories of your local legends, quiet heroes, neighbourhood stars, and community champions. Make your history a part of our shared history.

Story submissions will open soon.
