Thinking about starting a creative collective, formalising a collaborative project, or strengthening an existing creative-run organisation? In this workshop, present and past Pari directors Emma Harbridge (emoeba h♡rtbridge) and Bec Gallo will share their experiences being founders and custodians of artist-run spaces, as well as navigating collaborative artistic practices. They will touch on some key questions and issues surrounding collective practice and spaces, including labour, values and ethics, governance and structures, organisational sustainability, and difficult conversations. The workshop will include opportunities for questions and discussion, as well as a creative activity exploring how our values shape the ways we approach working together.

Reliving the energetic evening that was ‘portals to the ancestors’ ❤️‍🔥Thank you to all those who danced, crafted and gathered with us last month! We were so thrilled to see everyone’s dance moves in workshops led by Jannawi Dance Clan (@jannawidanceclan), Shyamla (@shyamla.e) and Mohamed Albayed from Ataba Dabke (@atabadabke). And the marvelous, personal shrines created in emoeba h♡rtbridge (@emoeba) and Bonnie Huang (@bonniiehuang)’s shrinemaking workshop. Last but not least, Kefah Maradweh from Jafra Enterprises (@jafraenterprises) shared her cooking and the compelling story of msakhan with us. So grateful to kick off our 2026 programming with these generous offerings by artists 🏵️ We curated this event as a part of the iconic Western Terrace series @phive.ps, to celebrate our provocation ‘Ancestral Portals’.

I had the honour of designing two costumes for Fei Gao’s The Path, 2024, commissioned and supported by @parramattaartistsstudios, and presented at Parramatta Lanes Festival. Inspired and inhabited by @emoeba as Magma Constricturex and @_msrist as Scarlet Voyage to the mystical compositions of @onemilliondollarsplease. Alongside Marie✨, @celinc_c🌊, and our sweetheart of a leader @feithebeast🦇 The Path is a dynamic performance work that brings to life migration journeys of 5 friends. Each of the five performers in The Path are adorned in striking armor, created during intimate interviews that informed each of the individual costume designs. These costumes, rendered in vivid hues of Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, and Black, weave personal and poetic stories of migration into their very fabric. Through collaborative workshops, the performers have crafted unique movements that echo their individual journeys. 🧡🖤💙💛💜 Photos 1, 2, and 5 by @garrytrinhphotography

Our paths collided so we could walk it together 🥹 Preparation for Fei Gao’s The Path often looked like friendship~ we shared stories of migration and family, shed our masks to inhabit new skins, and learned how to swim within sound pools that mirrored each in turn. 🫶🏽

We’re excited to introduce emoeba h♡rtbridge and Bonnie Huang who will be leading a shrinemaking workshop 🎐 Bring a photo of a ‘spiritual ancestor’ (real or imagined) or a treasured memory to make a personal shrine with us. 🕕 This workshop will be running from 6-8pm, in parallel to 3 fantastic dance workshops – a sanctuary for you to take a break, tinker and make with your hands. @emoeba (they/them) is an artist currently living in southwest Sydney on Bidjigal and Dharug Lands. They use their art as a connector between people, earth and animals, through the extremities of Sydney’s changing weather conditions. They believe in the enduring power of piracy for leisure and friendship. Lately, they like to think that - temporary, love-driven spurts of ugly struggle can lead to beautiful, worthwhile stuff, and memories. @bonniiehuang (they/them) is a gatherer of kerbside trash, textures, and symbols. Through serious thought and unserious experimentation, they explore the crevices between disgust and delight. Working across sculpture, installation, image-making, performance, and text, their work foregrounds the sensorial emotional experience and reveals our shared language of intimacy. Informed by an observational process, they digest and subvert commonplace objects, popular culture from the digital realm, and scenes of public architecture to allow a sculptural interpretation of our bodies, revealing how identity can be constructed and contested. 🗓️ Date and Time: Wednesday 25 March, 6-8pm 📍Location: Western Terrace, Level 3, @phive.ps 5 Parramatta Square, Parramatta Tickets are going fast ❤️‍🔥Book your place for free, link in bio 🔗 📷 1 - emoeba photo by Cass Li; 2 - Bonnie photo by Garry Trinh 🖋️Artwork by Eddie Abd, Typography by Celine Cheung #AncestralPortals #utp26 #portalstotheancestors
