ICCL.
Our purpose
Advancing
culture in multicultural Australia.
ICCL exists to advance culture in Australia — through festivals, events and programs that reflect the country's multicultural reality and foster intercultural understanding, community connection and social cohesion.
We are a small, volunteer-led charity that focuses narrowly on doing a few things well. Our flagship is MOMO Fest Melbourne. Beyond it, we partner with artists, food producers, councils and communities to bring public cultural programming to life.
"To advance culture in Australia by curating, producing and presenting festivals, events and programs with a focus on arts, culture and heritage representing multicultural Australia — while fostering intercultural understanding and social cohesion."— Principal object · Constitution adopted 27 August 2025
Our constitutional scope
What ICCL is set up to do.

ii.
Artist support
Residencies, mentorships, workshops, awards and support for artists and cultural practitioners where funds permit.
iii.
Education & engagement
Audience, participant and volunteer programs; school and university engagement; accessibility initiatives.
iv.
Documentation & preservation
Digital content, archives, recordings and documentation preserving cultural works and heritage.
v.
Partnerships
Collaboration with governments, councils, First Nations peoples, cultural bodies, education institutions, charities and international networks.
vi.
Cultural tourism
Cultural tourism activities, touring programs and collaboration with organisations in Australia and overseas with similar purposes.
