Next Wave welcomes back friends and experimental music collective, New North for their fifth concert, Veils. This concert features musicians Reuben Lewis, Jenny Barnes & Cat Hope.
Experience the pulsating delays of Reuben Lewis’s solo electroacoustic, the visceral depths of Jenny Barnes’s extended vocality, and two responses to Cat Hope’s unique graphic scores that communicate with an abstract visual language.
Hyperlocal Headlines takes place as a series of artist-facilitated creative conversations and collective storytelling and writing sessions that imagine the future of news. Participants will become citizen journalists for a day, learning to collaborate with AI technologies, understand media bias and language, and explore how the ways we tell stories can impact collective futures.
Discover Hyperlocal Headlines on display across SiteWorks, TwoSixty and a Melbourne location and participate in public Work Sessions.
Join our host Shantel Wetherall and artists Roberta Joy Rich, Ngokia Bunda-Health and Mira Oosterweghel as they consider and discuss self-care and community within collaborative and creative practices.

Farewell the festival for another year with a night of interactive readings. As some of our favourite writers share stories, you are invited to guess who is speaking the truth, and who is spinning a web of pure fiction. Will you uncover what is real, or will it all remain a mystery? Who’s to say? Afterwards, join us on the dancefloor as we celebrate the final festival night with a live DJ and our best moves.
Join us for a facilitated panel discussion with artists Luke Duncan King, Larissa MacFarlane and Gemma Mahadeo who share their learnings and experiences about creating work with access at its core.

Desire is a form of possession, commanding the body from within. Do we resist its embrace, or allow it to compel us wherever it must? Drawing on film tropes of the monster queer, this electronic opera for one is a magical summoning – a longing for communion with the invisible, where the performer’s body moves, and is moved by sound.
Possession celebrates the high drama and craft of opera via a solo performer inhabited by forces beyond human control.

The radical power of sharing food brings us together. Across tables we pass plates, share knowledge, stories and laughter.
You’re invited to converge, connect and spark new encounters with artists, thinkers, innovators, friends and neighbours in Moreland.
Wear a good shirt, bring your appetite and get set for some real old-school hospitality .
Minimum capacity. Maximum delicious.
For our very first iteration of Radical Hospitality we’re joined by our friends We Eatin’ Good! and GRUEL.
We Eatin’ Good! pictured is a collaborative food and cooking platform dedicated to amplifying young Queer, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. Created by Matisse Laida, who works closely with Nisha Hunter, this platform engages with QPoC across the world and holds space for the community to share and consume a range of cooking practices, culture and knowledge in a safe and celebratory way. For Radical Hospitality, the We Eating Good team will be collaborating with GRUEL, a Naarm-based experimental supper club, fronted by Quincy Malesovas.
GRUEL is a Melbourne/Naarm-based experimental supper club. Our goal isn’t to be an alternative to conventional dining, but something that exists outside it and evolves with it. Rather than eschew the mundane, grotesque or confronting sides of food, we embrace them. We aim to foster social and cultural awareness through this medium and provide a platform for those with an alternative approach to hospitality.
Radical Hospitality 1 is presented as part of Countercurrents, a new public art commission supported by Next Wave and City of Moreland, through Arts Moreland.
Next Wave welcomes everyone to this event, our venue is 100% wheelchair and pram accessible. We are able to assist with any access requests you may have ahead of this event, that are not listed. For further enquiries about how Next Wave can support your access requirements, please contact our team on (03) 9387 3376 or email us at nextwave@nextwave.org.au
