With extended lockdown and ongoing restrictions, Darebin City Council 's multi-arts festival, FUSE has been reborn and reimagined to keep everyone safe and will proceed in a digital and online capacity as FUSE Digital from 4-19 Sep 2021.

Art is nothing if not adaptable, and that's exactly what these times are calling for; adaptability in the face of uncertainty. Artists are responding, and FUSE is too, with a model that continues to support the creative industries during this difficult time, and beyond. See the website for the full PROGRAM . It's a good idea to subscribe as well, so you'll be privy to updates, especially in these uncertain times.


Some FUSE Digital Highlights include the Launch of FUSE Spring 2021 on Saturday 4 September 2021. Ganbu Gulin is a culturally-inclusive event that celebrates and recognises First Nations peoples, and invites all residents, old and new, to be officially welcomed onto Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country with Uncle Bill Nicholson and a live streamed performance by Pirritu .

At 2pm, following a Welcome to Country by a Wurundjeri Traditional Owner, Ganbu Gulin (One Mob), the documentary will be available to view online for the duration of the festival. This powerful documentary is about how Darebin's Aboriginal Advisory Committee led the Change the Date campaign in Darebin creating a powerful new ritual to Welcome all Darebin Citizens to Country.


The Market Record is a solo audio journey using a smartphone or printed instructions. It involves an audio- guided trip to Preston Market's Food Hall for your weekly shop. Locals can participate during Lockdown provided they are permitted to travel to the market and follow the latest health advice. Solo tour hours include: Friday 17th – Sunday 19th September. Bookings required.

Taking place on Thursday 9th September online at 6pm, Spaced is a cry for solidarity between members of the disability community and those who identify as Deaf. Tackling all the forbidden subjects like religion, advocacy and curing disabilities, it asks questions like "does art makes you mentally ill?" or "do you have to be mentally ill to make art?" It features live performance, visual art, dance, and the printed word from emerging and established artists with different experiences of disability. The event is Auslan interpreted and captioned. Discover much more on the website as more updates are to be announced. Follow FUSE Darebin's Facebook page for interesting content. Please check here for the latest government advice and information.
