FODI

What does this mean?

FODI’s speakers, artists and topics are selected carefully by the curatorial team and its advisors. They are guided by our curatorial framework:

  • FODI exists to challenge conventional understanding and belief.
  • FODI does not preach. Rarely does it censor.
  • FODI champions what is possible (but not crazy).
  • FODI is willing to offend (but not vilify).
  • FODI will shock; but not sensationalise.
  • FODI prefers to entertain and inspire.
  • FODI’s platforms are open to those who have earned the right to speak by virtue of their expertise, courage, sincerity and candour. They represent diverse perspectives communicated in diverse forms.
