New Ground

Bunjil Place is excited to present the inaugural New Ground commission program showcase.

Supported by the Sidney Myer Fund, the 2022 New Ground cohort have drawn on their connections to Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong to produce six unique projects. Through dance, spoken word, visual arts, media and film these artists reflect the depth, talent and experiences of the broader South East Melbourne arts community.
