Image Description: A photo of a nonbinary person with brown hair in front of a green fabric curtain. They are wearing a green top and gaze upwards over their right shoulder. The image has been cut up like a collage around their face with green leaves and branches pushing through the gaps. A small snail climbs up their right shoulder beneath their gaze.

Join us this Saturday for a free audio described and tactile tour of “a bit thing” by Dr Paola Balla, Rosie Kalina and Katen Balla at Arts House!

Book here: https://artshouse.sales.ticketsearch.com/sales/salesevent/165689

Installed in a purpose built house frame in the Main Hall, a bit thing invites you to step inside a fantastical Blak family home – a space where art, pop-culture and Koorie culture are inseparable from everyday life.

Interactive and sensorially rich, the exhibition features paintings, weavings, photography, moving image and digital artworks, alongside family photos, books, games and other material household memories.

Grounded firmly in Blak perspectives and lived experiences, a bit thing creates spaces of communal respite for visitors to connect, make a cuppa and experience artworks within a home shaped by memory, joy and care.

Whilst this tour has been designed with blind and low-vision patrons in mind, it is open to all community members who may benefit.

Image description: art installation of a house frame with open spaces between structural beams which can be seen through. Hand dyed fabric pieces in grey tones suspended from above suggest a roof shape. Inside we see an inviting living space, with artworks, furniture, shelves full of objects and warm light which bounces off a shiny wooden floor. Outside, a few light-colored plastic chairs are arranged on dark green astroturf.
