Since 2011, Council's projector has been lighting up the Bob Rose Stand at the former home of the Collingwood Football Club. In 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 the projector relocated to Peel Street Park in Collingwood for a very popular series of projections over the winter months.
The massive, red-brick wall in the park has become a cinematic-screen for large-scale still and moving image artworks which are projected every night after dark, until late. In the past few years, City of Yarra has presented a dynamic series of projections at this site by emerging, mid-career and established artists.
By popular demand the projection program is returning to Peel Street Park in 2022 on the corner of Peel and Little Oxford Streets in Collingwood and will be screening artwork every night after dark until midnight.
Current projection
VAHS, a home away from home
Filmed and produced by staff & students of the Koori Kollij Media Program c.1982. This video is presented by the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) in celebration of its 50th Anniversary.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are warned that this exhibition contains images of people who have passed away.
This video was filmed and produced by staff and students of the Koori Kollij Media Program in c. 1982. It shows the VAHS building at 136 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy (painted in the colours of the Aboriginal flag) from different angles; and locates it within surrounding areas of inner-city Melbourne. This film is a snapshot of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, as they come and go; or stay and gather around the building to socialise, have a yarn and support each other. VAHS is the hub of Aboriginal Victoria, it is a meeting place where mob feel safe, socially connected, and strong. This film captures a moment in time over 40 years ago, but VAHS remains the same today: the heart of the Victorian Aboriginal community.
The exhibition is showing from Monday 30 October to Sunday 17 December 2023.
