25.01.2022 Dowel Jones' new installation at Lamington Drive, Lucky Dip, draws inspiration from $2 and reject shops to create a series of brand new gift shop objects. These objects will be concealed within a sea of boxes that could contain anything from a chopping board to a table, for participants to claim. Much like a visit to a $2 shop, you're bound to go home with something that you never knew you needed, but may hold a special place in your heart and home. Interviewed by Viv Hu
21.01.2022 It's not often that one sees a play that is political, queer, badass and features a 70 percent female cast where you think, "you know who needs to see this? The boys I went to high school with." Well, Lysa and the Freeborn Dames is one of those plays. Claire Christian's mainstage playwriting debut talks girls, gender politics, protesting and what we should do when we aren't happy with the way things are. More importantly, it invites people to discuss those issues, including people who don't often put their hand up to join in on the activist/feminist/gender politics conversation.
16.01.2022 Storytime is about two adventurous Kimberley kids wander deep into the mangroves at sunset, only to find that the terrifying campfire stories of the Gooynbooyn Woman may not be a myth after all. Clerc's award-winning Indigenous horror film is based on her experience of growing up in the Broome region of Western Australia, where she was regaled with stories of the spirit of a woman that lived in the mangroves and stole children. But to Clerc and her Nyul Nyul/Yawuru community, the Gooynbooyn Woman is not just a legend, but a very real creature.

06.01.2022 "The concept of self-love is something I feel was lacking, and is still lacking in the education sector. It's something that should be taught as it's core to our being self-acceptance and self-love bleed into everything else that we do and it's something that we all universally struggle with as human beings." Anna Murphy chats all things self love with Jess Sanders, author of Learning To Love Your Body
