Punctum Inc.

Punctum Inc. Punctum is a live arts organisation based in central Victoria, Australia. http://www.punctum.com.au/

Each artist of Punctum creates works of art that continually push the boundaries and conventions of performance and installation. Our work has a national profile for its contemporary themes, the strength and diversity of artists involved and unconventional, innovative exchanges with audiences, which often occur in the least expected places. Punctum also manages an “arts incubator” – a place where

artists working with contemporary forms can research, practise, and build works. Punctum (pronounced pounctoum) rejoices in punctuating the cultural landscape.

On March 28th in the 2026 Castlemaine State Festival the Aryo Seno Ensemble premiered with a unique body of work created over a two-year trajectory with Punctum.

For audience members who’d been with us along the way, it was a celebration and a fulfilment; for those discovering the new ensemble it was “extraordinary” and “sublime”.

Bravo and heartfelt thanks to Aryo, Zoë, Kirri & Justin and audiences for all you shared.

A few years ago, local adventure in sound shifted: Jibber Jabber Sound Club went into hibernation & Undue Noise wrapped up. So, Punctum stepped in and up in partnership with Australian Art Orchestra (AAO) to keep local adventure in sound flowing and to offer opportunity.

Across 3 years we created a mentored workshop - Expanding Fields of Practice, and an ongoing program of Sonix Concerts. In partnership with AAO, Jibber Jabber has now been resurrected. Hooray!

Don’t miss their first event Wednesday 4th March. 7:30pm @ CASPA Gallery. $10 entry
