un Projects - 20th unniversary & fundraiser

un Projects invites you to the 20-year celebration of their flagship publication, un Magazine, celebrating twenty years of exciting arts publishing. To commemorate the occasion, they’re hosting an exhibition and fundraiser party at Meat Market Stables where it all started.

On Friday December 12 they will be hosting speeches form the board, performances from Kirby Casilli, Debris Facility and Diego Ramírez, and readings from Ender Başkan and Olivia Koh. This will be alongside an exhibition of special edition prints from past magazine cover artists including Julie Gough, Raafat Ishak, Katie West, and Elyas Alavi, and works from un board and committee members which will be raising funds for un Projects!

My Name Chef will be cooking up an exciting table of food! The un Magazine archive will be available to view and purchase. A raffle will be available for your chance to win bundles of gifts including Books by Uro and Neighbourhood Wine vouchers. It will be an exciting celebration of the two-decade old arts community that un has fostered. All support will help keep un Magazine going for another 20 years.

The exhibition will remain on view, and works available to purchase, on Saturday 7th December. Which will include a public program titled: time sleeping: futures and echoes with an artist talk from Sam Rolfes (US), in conversation with Stanton Cornish Ward, a presentation from incoming Guest Editor Lucreccia Quintanalla, and from past un Magazine contributor d duan!

The venue is wheelchair accessible and there is an accessible bathroom.

An AUSLAN interpreter will be in attendance for the readings, speeches, and talks across Friday 6th and Saturday 7th December.

un Projects is based on the unceded sovereign land and waters of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation; we pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.
