Festival of Dangerous Ideas (FODI) returns to Carriageworks on 24-25 August 2024. 

Presented by The Ethics Centre, FODI is Australia’s original disruptive festival, known for being at the zeitgeist of ideas. FODI will bring thought-leaders and artists from across the globe to fuel critical thinking, challenge preconception, provide information and spark conversations. 

Offering a haven for exploration and a harbour for the curious, FODI 2024's theme, Sanctuary allows audiences to engage with the ideas behind the headlines of the 24 hour news cycle. In a litany of entrenched ideas, shallow information and self-censorship, we desperately need a space where we can engage with challenging ideas in good faith.

FODI 2024 is an opportunity to hear powerful and provocative speakers from around the world talk on important and rousing topics. And also a space, a sanctuary, where audiences can engage with these ideas in a way that we, unfortunately, can’t in the wild. In FODI's Sanctuary you are safe from hype and safe to listen and to ask questions.
