In Baab 02 by artist @mochamas_ visitors are invited to transcend earthly planes to witness the barzakh, the veil to the celestial plane. Throughout this veiled space roam the djinn—or ‘genies’—known as ephemeral, intermediary beings who shape spiritual, social and ancestral understandings among Folk Islamic groups. The ‘dijital djinn’ within this installation become informants beyond barriers both physical and psychical, tapping in to the world of spirits.

Sky Orchestra sees artist Cyrus Tang revisiting childhood memories and Confucian thought through relearning to play Chinese poet, Su Shi’s, work on the piano. The resultant exhibition is one of loss and renewal through the turbulent yet transformative act of burning.

Cyrus’ exhibition Sky Orchestra is on until Sunday 1 August.

In ‘Market Mural’ by Rafaella McDonald, the colour palette and painting techniques used are intentionally anachronistic, reminiscent of the 1990’s era when murals were hand-painted with a variety of brushes and stencils.

Rafaella has opted to make use of these traditional methods to create a range of tonal shifts and textures; capturing the subtle hand gestures and markings of the artist at work. Blue is a foundational colour in the composition, which when viewed by the eye, translates as receding on the visual spectrum, therefore creating a sense of depth. The diversity of paint applications and surfaces, such as hard-edge lines against fluid shapes, seeks to replicate the movement and dynamism of city markets.

The ecology of markets as shared spaces of economy, transit, and community reflects the current role of Mason Square, where children play, and locals meet to gather or rest.

Charlotte Allingham’s images have been upheld at Indigenous Rights rallies, and carry a strong political commentary that addresses centuries of genocide, persecution and silencing of First Nations People.

'Market Mural' by artist Rafaella McDonald. The mural is a new public art installation, which transforms the wall of Everage St, Moonee Ponds, into a multi-layered artwork. Exploring the history of the site as a former marketplace, Rafaella invites you to contemplate the echoes and sensory impressions of the old market and imagine how the remnants of this place move with us through time.
Drop into Mason Square to see 'Market Mural' for yourself!

Mohamed Chamas is an artist, game developer and poet based in Naarm/Melbourne who channels the 'dijital djinni'—a rewired/rewiring agent for practice-based research. Mohamed's work calls upon Sufi magick and mysticisms of the ancient past to create fusion and synergy with emerging technologies. Mohamed's virtual reality works exist as unsurveilled sites of healing for orientalised bodies.

You can experience Mohamed’s current exhibition Baab 02 at Incinerator Gallery until August 1.

In Sha Sarwari’s exhibition Beyond the Rhetoric, visitors are invited to enact gestures of healing by making their own take-home rubbing artworks. Four Persian words of affirmation seek to demonstrate art as activism and a tool to spread positive energy: Welcome, Love, Peace, and Kharabat – a phase that means to to learn something new is to unlearn, or in order to make something new there has to be some form of dismantling.

Charlotte Allingham’s artworks are deeply reflective, celebrating community love, queerness and body positivity, whilst weaving together cultural and personal symbolism with a focus on Blak strength, self-determination and truth-telling.

You can catch Charlotte’s public art billboards around Moonee Valley and onsite at Incinerator Gallery until August 1.
