Vivid Sydney
Where will your night take you at Vivid Sydney? The possibilities are endless.
This year, we're celebrating everything that makes us different (and the same). The theme 'Humanity,' invites us to look inside to find inspiration in all those things that make us uniquely human - love, kindness, compassion and creativity. Join us in The Rocks to wander among out-of-this-world creations or sit down for a feast from the heart. Continue your journey across the city where you can dance alongside kindred spirits, listen to free music every night of the week and hear fresh ideas that open your mind.
From 6pm each night, see The Rocks transform with inspiring projections and installations that spotlight the essence of humanity.
We are our faces. They are a canvas for human emotion and expression. An invitation to connect. Mutual States explores this idea, putting the complexities of emotion and the self on full display.
Step into a canopy thick with countless LED ropes and connect to our shared humanity. As individuals, we are connected by countless invisible threads — a fact Angus Muir explores in this technicolour, immersive installation. Wander through a circular 'forest' of luminous ropes, run your fingers along the strands and press any of the eight interactive posts to set off dynamic patterns.
The grey of the Harbour Bridge Pylons explodes into a kaleidoscope of surrealistic, colourful life. Watch as Indigenous artist Tori-Jay’s exaggerated, cartoonish characters explore humanity’s deep connection to nature, through the prescient story of the Torres Strait 8.
Follow the Vivid flock along the Light Walk where you’ll spot stylised light sculptures resembling our native birds. This ‘birdwatching’ adventure highlights the diversity and survival skills of Greater Sydney's feathered friends whose habitats and existence are encroached upon by our sprawling cityscapes, increasing populations and lifestyles.
Global Rainbow is a beacon of hope and inclusivity and a guiding light above the Vivid Sydney festivities. A spectrum of light reaches out from the Sydney Tower Eye, extending the footprint of the Vivid Sydney Light Walk into the night sky for all to see.
