Somewhere, Elsewhere, Now, Here: Platform's Winter Show @ Abbotsford Convent

From shifting landscapes to personal memory, Somewhere, Elsewhere, Now, Here invites you to experience home as something fluid, layered and constantly unfolding.

• 30+ artists showcasing diverse works (All Weekend)

• Live performances and DJs (Saturday)

• Food (on Saturday) and bar available (All Weekend)
