Flash Forward
Flash Forward is in the process of establishing an interconnected system of laneways throughout Melbourne, each possessing unique narratives, visual components, and acoustic arrangements. This initiative serves as a platform to highlight Melbourne's vibrant creative ethos and to unleash the latent potential harboured within several of the city's less-explored alleyways. To achieve this, a cohort of over 80 artists has been engaged to produce a remarkable assemblage of 40 art installations and 40 albums.

Goddess: Power, Glamour, Rebellion - Until Oct 1
Through the lens of legendary tales, characters, and pivotal moments spanning over 120 years of cinematic history, Goddess pays tribute to the exceptional women and gender-defying luminaries who carved out their own paths, seized creative command, and valiantly opposed a system that aimed to manipulate them.
Encompassing previously unrevealed costumes, original sketches, interactive engagements, and cinematic gems, the exhibition showcases iconic ensembles by Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Geena Davis, and Margot Robbie. Goddess venerates the visionary artists who confronted narratives, shattered expectations and transcended conventional patterns. Embark on diverse programs that exalt pioneers, paradigm-breakers, advocates, and catalysts. Immerse yourself in the nocturnal revelry of Goddess Nights; bask in the brilliance of cinematic pioneers during Goddess Sundays; participate in "Being Seen on Screen," a dialogue led by Geena Davis, a two-time Academy Award winner, and other esteemed guests, delving into matters of gender representation and inclusivity on the screen.
