YIAYIA NEXT DOOR X MAYA BARNSTONE - an artistic collaboration capturing one of Australia’s most powerful food stories 💛

The transformative power of a home cooked meal - this is the story of @yiayianextdoor

During one of the hardest chapters of Daniel and Luke Mancuso’s lives losing their mother to domestic violence, their neighbour (a Greek grandmother) began passing home cooked meals over the fence in an act of love.

This special poster is a portrait of Yemista, a traditional dish of stuffed peppers that Yiayia cooks every week, painted by artist Maya Barnstone. Just one of the many meals that helped stitch a community, and two brothers, back together.

@mayaspaintings brought this recipe to life with a sense of deep familiarity. With Greek heritage of her own and a recent exhibition in Greece alongside her own late yiayia’s paintings, this collaboration felt like a homecoming 🇬🇷

Giving back through food is at the core of this story and what we do at Food For Everyone. The sale of each poster contributes 10 meals to people in need through @secondbiteorg 🍽️

Last month Baba hosted @foodforeveryone.aus ‘s beautiful ‘Still Life for Everyone’ charity fundraiser art sale, to a high success!

Artists came, sat, saw, and created, and then ‘everyone’ arrived, saw, purchased the art, and 100% of proceeds were donated to @secondbiteorg 🍎

Baba wanted to thank not only the beautiful, creative and (wickedly) talented artists who donated their time and skills, but also the exceptional team of powerhouse women @foodforeveryone.aus who came up and held the event - bravo to everyone xx

Baba loves art, loves sharing, and loves people coming together over loved causes, wonderful.

Day 1 of Still Life For Everyone in Sydney was a blast 🚀🚀

Yesterday we gathered thirteen incredible artists who created a whole collection of original artworks in just two hours, all inspired by a beautiful still life installation at our friends @babasplace__.

A huge thanks to @secondbiteorg and @addiroad for providing the rescued produce that created the still life scene and to all the artists for generously donating their time and talent 🙏

With 1 in 3 Australians currently experiencing food insecurity, we designed this event to raise funds and awareness on the current increased demand on food assistance. 100% of profits from the artworks sold at Still Life For Everyone will be donated to @secondbiteorg to help get food on the table for those in need 🍴

We can’t wait to see you at tonight’s event (which is sold out!), where you’ll have the chance to take home a piece of original art and give back to the community 💛

Baba’s good friends, @foodforeveryone.aus are hosting ‘Still Life For Everyone’, an exhibition + art sale, at Baba’s Place on Tuesday 29th April.

13 artists to create responses to a series of still-life displays curated by Baba’s creative team. These 100+ works will then be exhibited in Baba’s warehouse, and made available to purchase for $55 per piece.

This is a charitable event, with 100% of profits from the artwork sales going to @secondbiteorg to help get food on the table for those in need.

Featuring works by Ben Mazey, Eleni Ioakimidis, Mikey Freedom, Nicole Nelius, Lisa Nooin, Tiarna Herczeg, Rahma Soliman, Gemma Leslie, Phoebe Stone, Evi O, Jacqueline Jacky, Maya Barnstone, Emily Heath, and more, this is an incredible opportunity to own an original piece of art made with a social and community intention.

Baba will also be pouring wines and barbequing cevapis - yep, the Rockdale Roll is back.

Thank you all for your amazing support at The Unbound Art Show 2025 last week. With over 170 guests in attendance, it was an unforgettable evening filled with creativity, inspiration and joy. An incredible 37 donated pieces of art were sold and we raised $47,200 towards @barnardos_au safety and prevention programs for children and young people facing homelessness. We are so grateful to our amazing artists, generous suppliers like @flowersacross for their stunning florals, dedicated volunteers and wonderful guests for making this night so special!

I'm really proud to have worked on the branding, key art and campaign for The Unbound Art Show.

It's @barnardos_au annual art show and auction and this year it's on (THIS) Thursday 20 March at @nas_au and there are only a few tickets left!

It couldn't be for a better cause, as all the money raised from tickets and artwork goes to @barnardos_au youth homelessness programs.

The team have done amazing work to bring everything together ( @belllaarmstrong 👏 )and looks set to be another incredible night.

There's an excellent line up of artists who've donated pieces including

@kendonegallery @_elinmatilda @mrseaves101 @bobbyclark____ @micke_lindebergh @e_milydaystudio @kasia.artist @mayaspaintings @tessachong @scott__rennie

To name but few...

The ticket includes drinks, canapés and live music, plus $50 dollars off an artwork if you buy a piece.

You can buy tickets through @theunboundartshow

If you can't make it but fancy putting in a bid on a piece of art you can do so remotely too. Auction ends on the night.

Hopefully see you there 💫
