Secret De-Lights

  • Free
  • Art

Explore Melbourne’s magic at Howey Place and side laneways within Alfred, Degraves and Equitable Place.

Unrefined Chaos (Alfred Place, off Collins St)
With any portal opening between parallel universes, you expect some visual shenanigans afoot. This portal is not an exception to this rule.

Emergence (Degraves Place, off Flinders St)
Spring brings many changes to the world and many changes are sprung onto Spring. Emergence provides some continuity to the former and an opportunity to ponder change.

Diligent Deterrents (Equitable Place, off Collins St)
Watchful eyes and feathered inhabitants place one in a hoot of a predicament. Move to the left or move to the right or just stand still and hope for some resolution.

Ballroom Bohemia (Howey Place, off Little Collins St)
A ballroom in the making brandishing a shimmering appetite to dance and light the night.

Secret De-Lights is supported by the City of Melbourne and the Victorian Government.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
