This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.

Lara Chamas and Hootan Heydari present a selection of recent work in our main gallery, titled Retrace Your Steps!

This exhibition brings together two remarkable artists, each with unique styles and practices. 

While each artist approaches their mediums in distinct ways, their work shares a profound connection through the exploration of themes such as home, familial memory and generational migrant experiences of leaving their home countries due to war and political upheaval.

Their works are both poetic and poignant, speaking to both personal stories and broader political histories.

Lara Chamas is a Lebanese artist, born and raised in Naarm (Melbourne). Her work comprises of sculptural objects and installations that reflect on family, memory, and domestic life.

Hootan Heydari is an Iranian-Australian artist, who predominantly works in sculpture and photography. His art captures connections between the past and present, distilling echoes of history into contemporary expressions. Heydari is represented by Futures Gallery.

This exhibition contains artwork that explores themes of war and violence, which may be difficult for some visitors. Please speak to our staff if you would like more information before attending. We thank you for your understanding.

Suburban Rail Loop (SRL)
… KB UPDATED: 18 February 2022 Download download Image About Council Suburban Rail Loop Advocacy Parking, Roads and …

A rail line to Doncaster

The Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link will connect suburbs from Cheltenham to Werribee.

The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) includes a Doncaster Station. However construction may be over ten years away.

map showing the proposed stations and route of the Suburban Rail Loop

We are advocating for the Doncaster Station footprint to be set aside as part of Stage 1, to allow for planning of the Doncaster Hill precinct. For an express bus service that mirrors the Suburban Rail Loop Alignment. Providing a public transport connection to key education, healthcare and employment precincts.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway

Why do we need a rail line to Doncaster?

Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently our only public transport option is an over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.

With Doncaster Hill’s population and traffic continuing to grow, we are urging the Victorian Government to include a Doncaster Station in stage two of the SRL and secure a location for the train station now.

Manningham is the only municipality without a tram or train line.

Car ownership per household is considerably high and daily public transport use for employment purposes is below the metropolitan average.

Our bus system is buckling under pressure to provide enough services and meet capacity for our growing city.

Doncaster Station not part of stage one construction

We are strongly advocating to the Victorian Government to include Doncaster Station in Stage two of the SRL.

We are working with stakeholders and the SRL Authority to secure a site location for the future train station.

What’s next?

We will continue to work with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and the Department of Transport to advocate for improved public transport services to Manningham.

We want

  • fewer roads
  • more public transport options for our community
  • a railway station to Doncaster

… Find out how to compost your food scraps and organic waste. … Recycle …

Why recycle food waste?

Food waste can seem dirty, smelly or off-putting, but it is an incredibly valuable resource that is packed with nutrients that plants need to thrive. Recycling food waste at home is not only beneficial for your garden but also fosters a deeper connection to your environment and what you consume.

While your FOGO bin is perfect for keeping your food and garden waste out of landfill, recycling it yourself at home is easy and cost effective as you spend less on commercial fertilisers and soil conditioners.

The conservation and aesthetics of fungi

Join us for an engaging seminar where we'll delve into the fascinating world of fungi with expert Dr. Alison Pouliot. 

The earth’s rapidly changing climate and environmental issues have come into sharp focus through the demise of charismatic megafauna and the ‘biodiversity crisis’. But what about stinkhorns and slime moulds? How do fungi and their kin get our attention when they are not only overshadowed by more ‘popular’ organisms, but are rarely included in our ideas about ‘nature’ or ‘biodiversity’?

The good news is it seems we’re in something of a ‘fungal awakening’ and mushrooms are finally having their moment. Over the last 25 years Alison has divided her time between hemispheres, working both with fungi and their followers. She has been actively involved in fungal conservation and land restoration programs.

In this talk Alison will explore how fungi are perceived across hemispheres in conservation contexts and which fungal flagships best capture the public imagination. She will also share some stories from the writing of her recent book, Underground Lovers – Encounters with Fungi in which she interacted with fungi and their followers across a dozen countries.

There will be an opportunity at the end for participants to show their specimens or purchase books.

Booking essential: Limited to 50 people.

About the Presenter

Alison Pouliot, BA (Philosophy), BSc Hons (Zoology), PhD (Ecology/Mycology).

Alison is an ecologist, environmental photographer and author and has presented over 800 environmental seminars, forays and workshops in Australia and internationally.

Seminar field trip

Attending this event will enable you to attend the Seminar field trip: Meeting with mushrooms.

  • Date: Thursday 30 May 2024
  • Time: 9.00am to 11.30am

This exciting field trip introduces participants to the diversity, ecology and curiosities of the Kingdom Fungi, specific to fungi found in the region and its various habitat types.

Participants will learn some of the basic skills used to identify fungi in the field using multiple senses. The relationships between fungi and various plant species and different habitat types will be discussed. Every fungus has intriguing natural and cultural histories and stories, and these will be shared along the way.

Interested participants will be sent a registration link.

Challenging assumptions and stereotypes about ageing with Linda Black

Find out why you’ve never stopped being a work in progress and that you can reconnect with that sense of yourself....

Does it feel that you have things to do, places to go, people to meet…. but something’s missing?

Does it seem that, in retirement, your life has lost a sense of meaning or that you’re just marking time? What if it doesn’t need to be like that?

We often hear the phrase 'a work in progress' and it's usually used in the context of younger people. But what if it's always true, no matter our age?

In this interactive session you’ll get the chance to explore that missing bit. To find out why you’ve never stopped being a work in progress and that you can reconnect with that sense of yourself.

Participants will need to have a pen and paper in order to fully participate.
