Talking Shops: Glen Eira Stories

17 November 2023 – 28 January 2024

Talking Shops: Glen Eira Stories explores the distinctive character and cultures in the municipality’s centres and shopping strips, prompting community conversations, sharing stories across generations and exploring community attachment to place.

Whether still standing or just a memory, these shops and the people that run them are a unique record of a time, place, and a changing local retail scene. This exhibition brings together interviews by Aron Lewin and photographs by Tatiana CC Scott of Tales of Brick and Mortar alongside historic and contemporary photography, objects, and stories.

Talking Shops: Glen Eira Stories invites you to share your memories and step back in time to see how our community has changed.

Lilach Mileikowski

Sustenance

Gallery Two
17 November – 17 December 2023

Lilach Mileikowski’s exhibition will feature sculptural works that fuse clay, glaze, fabric, and wire. Potent and delicate, her work consists of reiterated elements, reflecting on the basic human need to connect and nature’s malleable way of reproduction.

Clay vessels are emblems of our primal necessities, as containers for carrying food and water. In these distinctive works, they are also carriers and supporters of delicate parchments inscribed with sacred and handwritten Hebrew scripts.
