Aug 28 to Sept 26 Colleen Ahern. Ahern’s paintings engage primarily with visible remnants of the music industry, the historical scope of portraiture, and cultural iconography. Ahern creates paintings that are representational of vinyl record covers, exploring the nexus between fandom and nostalgia. The idea of homage is accentuated in Ahern’s practice, as her paintings mimic the size of the record itself.

Wed–Thurs 10.00 to 3.00.
To Aug 27 Extraordinary Stories: Collection Highlights. Drawing on objects, photographs, artworks, oral histories, and archival records from the Greater Dandenong Civic and Cultural Collection, the exhibition brings together different types of material to tell rich, interconnected stories of people, places, and events. Everyday objects sit alongside personal photographs, recorded memories, and artworks, showing how individual experiences connect to broader community change. No single object tells the whole story—but when combined, they create a deeper understanding of Greater Dandenong’s past, present, and evolving community identity.

To Aug 30 ROLLERCOASTER | winhangadurinya in motion by Brook Andrew. Through visual art, performance, research, and long-term collaborations, Brook Andrew reveals and reimagines the legacies of power and representation that shape how histories are produced, circulated, and understood. This practice is informed by his perspectives as a Wiradjuri and Ngunnawal person, and by decades of engagement with archives and museums.
