The Substation

Set in Newport in Melbourne's west, on the land of the Yalukit-willam of the Kulin Nation, this arts space is given over to contemporary, multi-artform and experimental work. Its rooms hold exhibitions, dance, performance and music, alongside an outdoor billboard gallery, with a program that draws together local, national and international artists and the diverse communities of the western suburbs. Recent presentations have included Meagan Streader's A Residual Pulse and Nicole Chui's Grassroots Never Dies, Worldwide. The emphasis falls on urgent work that reconsiders history and imagines other futures.
