Join us on Monday 2nd of November to celebrate the release of Foreign Return: On Art and Inhabitation by Neha Kale in-conversation hosted by local artist Gok-Lim Finch.

As a child at the turn of 90s, Neha Kale migrated from India to Australia. But what was sold as a linear journey – a straightforward replacement of one home for another – sparked a lifetime of questions: How do you inhabit places that were never meant for you? Can you find home somewhere you were never supposed to belong?

Mixing personal narrative with art and cultural criticism, Foreign Return explores the work of artists Dayanita Singh, Ana Mendieta, Tracey Emin, Brett Whiteley and Danie Mellor among others to investigate the myth of the suburbs, the shadows of colonial inheritance, and the changing ways we need to conceive of homes and their ownership. In doing so, Neha Kale overturns the legacies of belonging that entrap us and searches for a language of home that can speak to a fractured world.

We had the lovely Mohammed Massoud Morsi stop by and signed a couple copies of his book The Hair of the Pigeon. Come grab a copy while they last!

If you fall in love, love a moon; and if you steal, steal a pigeon.

‎إن عشقت اعشق قمر، وإن سرقت اسرق حمامه

Told with aching intimacy and poetic force, The Hair of the Pigeon is an epic tale of exile, survival, and indestructible love, tracing a path from the atrocities of the Syrian civil war, across the Mediterranean, to present-day Copenhagen.

🦴 What We’re Reading 🦴

Alan has just finished the new novel by local author Amanda Curtin - Six Days.

Set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the winter of 2012, the novel’s six-day narrative expands into lifetimes, histories, as interconnecting stories are woven together. Simmering with tension, Six Days is Curtin’s return to fiction after 13 years.

Copies available in store!

🏠 What We’re Reading 🏠

Anne has just read the wonderful Hard Places by Gab Torr

“Billy is fresh out of her long-term relationship and hunting for a house, and she can’t decide if Sid and Rhoda are unbearable. But the room is cheap, and if they’re wildly clingy and earnestly political AND a little vague on the drama with the last housemate, she only has to sleep there, right? I had a few cackles during Billy’s grudging journey from wary stray to found family member (the mandatory q***r book club is a highlight) but also a deeply observant and tender book that thrilled me with the mess of it all. Good stuff!“
