“My ink and watercolour paintings address feminist issues and explore themes such as archaeology and anthropology. The media is used in such a way as to make the most of the expressive appearance of painterly drips and bleeds creating an ‘other worldly’ or ‘dream like’ quality. I also create special site-specific murals painted directly onto a wall that provides context for my works and reinforce their meanings.” Rebecca Power

About
Mudfest is the University of Melbourne’s student arts and drama festival and in 2011 will run from the 18th – 28th August. Over 21 years Mudfest has grown to become the largest student arts festival in Australia, and the program includes theatre, creative writing, dance, cabaret, visual art, opera, musical theatre, installation and performance and everything in between! The theme for this year’s festival is the ‘Kaleidoscope of imagination’ – celebrating and showcasing the creative and imaginative talents emerging from the University of Melbourne.
The Mudfest student arts and culture festival has grown to encompass all forms of artistic expression since it began in 1990. Presented every two years by the University of Melbourne Student Union, Mudfest nurtures, encourages and supports new and innovative arts practices amongst the students, whilst also providing them with professional and creative development opportunities.
Ten days of unbridled, back-to-back artwork. It’s by the students, for the students. Show us how you see the world.

Hi Self Publishers of the world, as you may or not know the library has an exhibition at Salford Art Gallery running from 15th October 2011 to 29th January 2012.
Pink Mince
I am looking to show a film at the exhibition made up of short videos that contributers to the library have made of themselves. The video will explain why you personally self publish and about the zines you produce. To submit please email me your short talking head videos no longer than five minutes. I will compile and edit these together and add captions for the finished film. All are welcome to contribute to this project and I would like an eclectic range of zine makers to participate covering all the genres etc. So wherever you are making your zines it would be great to hear from you.
Kind regards, Craig

Victorian (Melbourne) date promoted here: but you can also view dates around Australia at the Voiceless website.
As a leading European expert on animal welfare, Peter describes Australia’s live export trade as “the world’s worst”. He explains that conditions in Indonesian abattoirs could not have improved in just one month and that the resumption of trade was met with shock in Europe.
In Australia for Voiceless’s Animal Law Lecture Series, Peter discusses European Union (EU) bans on some factory farming practices and how this cruelty continues in Australia. He suggests that better animal welfare can actually be more profitable for farmers and that changing consumer sentiments are driving more ethical products in Europe.
To listen to Peter’s full interview, please visit the website of ABC Radio National Breakfast.
