OFF TOWARDS THE UNKNOWN

To reshape our world, we need the freedom and curiosity to push boundaries and openly experiment.

Let’s
CIRCLE BACK TO

Play

Let’s leave our expectations behind and get lost in states of play.

NEW ways to

Vacant Assembly acknowledges the Turrbal and Jagera peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we connect, play and thrive. We honour and take inspiration from the First People’s deep knowledge of environment, arts, culture, and storytelling, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal land – sovereignty never ceded.
