The Brutalist Playground, conceived by Australian visual artist Simon Terrill

and the UK-based design studio, Assemble; it re-imagines mid-20th century

brutalist playgrounds in colourful recycled foam and invites young visitors to

an immersive installation that blends sculpture and architecture.

Naarm-based, Trawlwoolway multidisciplinary artist, Edwina Green invites

children and carers to explore, imagine and play on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung

Country. Shaped like an abstract oyster, the First Nations Playable Public Art

Commission speaks to themes of childhood, togetherness, and renewal; while

honouring the environmental and cultural significance of the river.

In the Incinerator Gallery’s historic space, Emily Floyd will also exhibit a

selection of unique silk prints (Ripple, 2014) on the theme of Australian

feminism and community and has produced a new work inspired by a

photograph in her mother’s archive, celebrating childhood and

recreation in Moonee Valley. Above image: courtesy Artist.
