Annahstasia

"My career has been a lesson in patience," says Annahstasia, having cultivated her musical language between blazes of intimacy and independence across different lives, locations, and iterations, loves lost and gained, expectations evaded and recreated. The rising troubadour's proximity to love — for and from others, in society at large, and deeply within herself — guides the spirit of her soulful, poetic folk songcraft.

Going Places Transport Mural Celebration

Join Pyramid's Next Step group’s Going Places transport mural celebration at Seagulls Reuse on 17 July.

This celebration event is a chance to view the mural, meet the artists, enjoy some refreshments, and try making your very own wall art.

This is a free event and everyone is welcome!
