The next season of exhibitions showcase our selection from the 2025 call for entries with emerging and local artists featured throughout the gallery spaces as part of our annual programming for Platform Projects.
‘we/us/theirs/all’ is a major solo exhibition of new works by Murri artist Norton Fredericks that confronts our current epoch of catastrophe.
‘Alas-alasan’ is an exhibition of new textiles and sculptures by Naarm-based artist Leo Bagus Purnomo, featuring traditional batik motifs of animals and plants, where the forest symbolises a liminal place between the earth and gunung (or ‘mountain’) that is symbolic of heaven.
‘Tending the Invasion’ is a photographic installation by artist Angus Scott, who addresses blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) as a site of ecological, colonial, and personal entanglement.
The exhibitions are now open until Sunday, 13 June.

Anzac Day Commemoration Ceremony 202619apr3:00pm4:00pm3:00pm - 4:00pm Queens Park
Time
Location
Queens Park
Kellaway Avenue, Moonee Ponds, VIC 3039
Event Details
Ahead of Anzac Day on Friday 25 April, we invite the community to join us in honouring the ANZACs at a commemoration ceremony.
Event Details
The ANZAC legend was born on 25 April 1915, when some 16,000 soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed under fire on the shores of Gallipoli, Türkiye. The Anzacs landing at Gallipoli helped shape the Australian story.
Their actions during the Gallipoli campaign left a powerful legacy, and their courage and sacrifices are remembered each year with commemorative services across Australia. Council has held its Anzac commemoration ceremonies at the Queens Park Cenotaph since 1929, when it was built.
Join the Mayor of Moonee Valley, councillors, local parliamentarians and the Essendon RSL sub-branch at the Cenotaph in Queens Park as we acknowledge the sacrifices and contributions made by our service men and women and their families.
