We're bringing South Asia to South East Melbourne this winter with exhibition activities in the Gallery, Guru of Chai in the Studio and the very best in Sri Lankan, Indian and Afghan music in the Theatre. Check out what we've got planned below:
 

  • Saturday 22 June to Sunday 22 September - Continental Shift: Contemporary Art and South Asia (FREE) in the Gallery
    Experience an intriguing, questioning and visually rich exhibition of recent and contemporary art that provides new insights into the relationship between Australia and some of our closest South Asian neighbours.

  • Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 July - Guru of Chai in the Studio
    In the swirling buzz of a railway station, a young girl is abandoned and brings the place to a standstill with a beautiful song. Among the throng is a poor chai-wallah (tea-seller) and in that sweet moment his life is turned upside down.
