22.01.2022 To mark this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign, West-side women’s choir Pitchface present their cover of ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ by The... Cure. Written in 1979 by Robert Smith, ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ highlights the way that men and boys in society have traditionally been brought up to hide their emotions. There is now strong evidence from organisations including OurWatch and VicHealth that these stereotyped constructions of masculinity do great harm to men and boys, and are drivers of violence against women. The song is a call to action to free men and boys from outdated stereotypes around what it means to be a man, and to build a safer and more equal society. Pitchface’s performance is supported by Council and @Respect Victoria’s Respect Women: Call it Out campaign. If you are experiencing family violence, or you are worried about someone you know you can call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

19.01.2022 Love Your Local: Mishra’s Kitchen Mishra’s Kitchen, a humble, family restaurant serving traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine in Yarraville, has been much...-loved local for nearly 10 years. Mishra’s Kitchen’s best-seller is their famous butter chicken, and the restaurant has a particular focus on Sanjeev’s mother’s Bengali cuisine and the Rajasthani cuisine deeply rooted from his childhood. What makes Mishra’s Kitchen special? I love cooking and how sharing food brings people together. I don’t serve what I don’t like, I don’t do any bulk cooking, I use only fresh ingredients prepared every day and I can cater to people’s dietary requirements, says Sangeev. When you come here you get treated like my family. I want it to feel like home. For more information about #loveyourlocalmari, visit https://bit.ly/3mIR943

13.01.2022 Anjera, A fermented flat bread traditionally made using maize and wheat flour and left to ferment over night. In many households, young girls or their mums would prepare the Anjera batter every night before bed time. "I remember the rhythmic sounds of batter being beaten by hand and the smell of Anjera cooking in the morning. This is not the well known Ethiopian Injera but a cousin less sour and usualy not made with Teff." (Saida)

Residents are asked to learn the song (even just a piece of it as it is long) and record themselves singing, dancing or playing instruments along. Then send their videos in to be part of the bigger edited version. All t...he videos compiled will be a a wonderful tapestry of our community singing as one and we want to see all sections of the community, young and young at heart singing together. Submissions are open 13 November 1 December, with the final video piece circulated from December 14. Here's the website for all entry links including the song and some suggested dance actions. https://www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au//Me/A-Christmas-e-Carol See more
