Tactile Histories
April 22 & May 20

All fabric tells a story – whether it’s an old shirt, a well-worn blanket, or the material from a bag you once loved. In this three-hour workshop, Indonesian artist Rozana Lee invites you to bring along a piece of fabric that has special significance to you – and to turn it into a simple collage you can hang on your wall.

All additional materials will be provided – participants just need to bring a piece of fabric (big or small) that holds a special memory.

The Claw
May—June

As winter arrives, a sea of plush creatures will appear in Northcote Town Centre, searching for new friends and new homes. Everybody will have the opportunity to take one away. The catch? They’re nesting inside a giant claw machine, and you’ll have to bring your sharpest technical skills to guide one home.

Created by Hanna Shim, Micheal McCabe and Adam Ben-Dror
