What makes a place feel like a sanctuary, especially when the city around it is changing?
Across three days, artists Chris Parkinson and Sabina Andron invite you into Come Write Here, a live, evolving artwork at MPavilion Parkville.
Set against the backdrop of nearby construction, the project turns the pavilion into a shared creative space where visitors can unknot ideas of public space, and consider how images, street markings, posters, graffiti and traces of removal shape the way we experience the city.
Meet the artists, watch the work develop, and add your own voice to a collectively-authored noticeboard. You can also book into a free one-hour workshop led by participating artists Aisyah Kirana or Two Halves As a Whole and a durational painting performance by Timorese artist, Alfeo Pereira. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to make, write, notice and contribute.
Drop in any time from 11am-3pm or book to attend a free workshop:
- Monday 21 September, 12pm–1pm: workshop with 2 Halves As a Whole
- Tuesday 22 September, 12pm–1pm: workshop with Aisyah Kirana
- Wednesday 23 September, 12pm–1pm: durational painting performance by Timorese artist, Alfeo Pereira
