This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.
Artist Paul Handley’s Pillars of Déplacement traces his journey through the migrant settlement camps of Europe to the island shores of Lesbos, variously between 2016 and 2019, a period of social and political flux for the region. Geopolitical tensions and conflict at this time in countries including Syria and Afghanistan led to the displacement of thousands of people who were forced to seek refuge in foreign lands.
Despite it being a fundamental human right to seek asylum, this flow of refugees destabilised social fabrics across multiple communities and led to a wave of resistance from governments and local communities in the areas where the refugees sought asylum.
This exhibition represents the artist’s firsthand experience of this tension through a collection of documentary images, objects and artworks that stand as symbols hope, such as his sculptures inspired by the life-jacket graveyards of Lesbos. The exhibition acts as an artistic shrine to all the displaced and lost across the globe and throughout history, spurring reflection on migration and people movement and the ramifications it has on communities and countries.
Featuring opening remarks from Manningham Mayor Cr. Andrew Conlon, as well as Paul Handley in conversation with Manningham Art Gallery curator, Davey Warnock.
When: Saturday 17 April, 2.00pm to 3.30pm. Cost: This is a free event but places are limited.
Join Paul Handley for a conversation about his experiences travelling through the migrant camps of Europe and the process of translating those experiences into artworks.
When: Thursday 22 April, 11.00am to 12.00pm. Cost: This is a free event but places are limited.
In this workshop for secondary school-aged youth, participants will discuss the history of protest and the art of creating impactful signs and performances.
When: Saturday 1 May, 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Cost: Tickets are $5 per person. Places are limited.

The upgrade, between Templestowe Road and Williamson Road (1.8 km), will enhance safety, pedestrian connectivity, and infrastructure quality.
In addition to road, footpath and drainage enhancements, we're proposing:
two new roundabouts at the intersections of Atkinson and Milne streets. The roundabouts aim to prevent speeding, improve traffic flow and highlight the entrance to the Templestowe Village shops.
To advocate for a reduced speed limit of 40km per hour between the roundabouts, to boost pedestrian and road safety.
To advocate for a reduced speed limit to 50km/hour on the route. This will apply from Union Street to the Milne Road roundabout, and from Atkinson Street roundabout to Porter Street. It excludes areas where a 40km/hour speed limit has been proposed.
To install pedestrian-operated signals at the intersection of Wood and Anderson streets so community members can access the shops more safely.
Drop in at this public consultation session, where you'll have the opportunity to:
chat to our officers about the project
review the proposed plans
provide your feedback about the proposed changes

Tom Civil is an artist, muralist, community art facilitator and printmaker.
Tom has been making art in the streets of Melbourne for over 18 years, and has painted over 30 commissioned murals across town in the last ten years.
Tom's ground artworks reference through the language of mapping and symbology, our connection to nature in a heavily urbanised and concrete and asphalt covered world. The ground artworks also allow us to day-dream about how the places we live were in the past, and how they could be in the future. They also create fun interactive play moments in our daily lives.

Registrations are essential. …
Sporting clubs play in important role in our community. They can be important places of social connections and support, as well as influential structures where attitudes and behaviours, including those towards women and girls, are formed and upheld.
Sporting clubs also have an important responsibility to ensure all members are safe and free from discrimination and harassment. This can be achieved by creating and supporting fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments on and off the playing field.
Active Bystander training seeks to support fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments through skilling participants to not only identify and challenge sexism, but other forms of discrimination such as racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. Active Bystander training equips participants to step in when they see or hear sexist or discriminatory language, jokes, behaviours or practices across a range of sports settings and scenarios.
Research shows that promoting bystander action across your sporting club can support a range of benefits. Some examples of this include:
Improved club culture and relationships for all members
Attract and retain talent and increase performance and morale
Save money and increase profits
Support positive change and enhance your reputation
Contribute to the prevention of violence against women
Spots in this workshop are limited so book your spot as soon as you can.
