Night Mode: Cycle of Life Edition

Overview

This week, Narre Warren arts precinct Bunjil Place is showing off its night owl side, with the next instalment of its Night Mode series. Kicking off from 6pm on Thursday, April 7, Night Mode: Cycle of Life Edition is set to deliver a tasty after-hours program of food, drinks, music, art and talks.

You'll score late-night access to the current exhibition One Foot on the Ground, One Foot in the Water, which offers a compelling exploration into the ways in which we hold onto or let go of death.

From 6pm, you can unleash your inner creative at a jewellery workshop guided by designer Vivian Qiu, who'll show you how to craft sentimental pieces from rice fabric. Meanwhile, a live DJ set by Simona Castricum will have you grooving into the night; S.A Vandoort will showcase his surrealist portrait pieces in the Look Into My Eyes exhibition; and holistic funeral director Bonita Ralph sets out to break down taboos around talking about death with a reflective conversation pop-up, Death Cafe.

Bunjil Place's cafe and bar will be serving until 9pm, but you can also pre-order a range of picnic packs and hampers to enjoy while kicking back in the plaza.

Entry to Night Mode: Cycle of Life Edition is free, though you'll need to register online for a spot.
