With huge gratitude to Arts Victoria and Moreland City Council for financial support, I’m happy to announce that I’ve started putting together a second iteration of In Passing!
If you missed it last time, In Passing is a participatory art project that will bring diverse groups of women together in the suburbs of Coburg & Coburg North to highlight and unpack experiences around gender, power and public space. In Passing first occurred this time last year in Brunswick with 100 women participating across eighteen ‘salon’ events to examine these issues through the familiar and light-hearted form of a pass-the-parcel game. After much positive feedback, the second iteration of In Passing in Coburg will involve 20 similar salons across the month of October this year.
I’ve just put a call out for 20 Coburg (North) women to act as salonniéres and host an In Passing women’s salon at their home, and already 9 people have put their hands up. To participate in In Passing or to stay up to date with this project, check in at www.inpassing.com.au.
