The Docks: Melbourne's Cultural Underground of the '90s
Celebrate the birth of Melbourne's electronic music scene.
Overview
If you had wandered through the Docklands during the 1990s, you might have been surprised by what you found. For close to a decade, the area was at the centre of Melbourne's electronic music scene, its wealth of abandoned warehouses a natural fit for underground raves and parties. Now, the City of Melbourne is paying tribute to this significant (if not legally sketchy) period in its cultural history, with a brand new exhibition at the Library at The Dock.
Co-presented by Melbourne Raves, Electronic Music Alliance Australia and Monash Art Design & Architecture, the exhibition combines memorabilia, including posters and ticket stubs, with music samples, public workshops and even a virtual rave. There'll also be a selection of events in conjunction with the Midsumma Festival, including a queer history walk and queer rave knitting. Not exactly sure what that last one will entail, but you have to admit that it sounds intriguing.
