The Amplified Elephants in Forest of Threads have created a myth-telling of the flight of the Owl-Man and is told through a tale that is unravelled through ambient electronic sound. The Forest of Threads has a deeper meaning as it highlights the need for humanity to consider how everyone is threaded through the various natural biomes of the world. 1 – 2 September at JOLTED Arts Space.

Bundoora Homestead presents Us Mobfeaturing important artworks by twelve Victorian Koori Elders, evoking a love for culture and Country. The Us Mob Elders Exhibition aims to celebrate the legacies and show the ongoing practice of students who attended the Indigenous Art Unit at RMIT University’s School of Art between 2005 and 2012. 2 – 17 September at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.

FLOAT by Darebin-based visual artist, Jemima Jones is a first solo exhibition that showcases new and original multimedia work. Objects appear floating, suspended in the depths of the ocean, or viewed through the lens of a microscope. This is a new exploration of multi-media work commenting on the beauty of nature and the depths of environmental grief. 2 September at North Preston Lifesaving Club. 

The Darebin Arts Precincts Programming Team will also present the Mayor’s Writing Awards an annual initiative to recognise and celebrate local stories and writers. Bailey Dihayco was the winner of the 2022 Darebin Mayor’s Writing Award and was given $2000 for his original writing, An Abridged Biography of Hermes Butler5 September at Darebin Arts Centre. 

Since its inception, FUSE has reflected Darebin’s uniqueness while highlighting its strengths as a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking city. With a strong and diverse program, FUSE believes that art is for everyone and encourages the community to experience the bold and unexpected events in their own neighbourhood.
