HIST30060: BUTTERFLY HOSPITAL
This is a beautiful contraption that sprung up on my street during the lockdowns in Naarm/Melbourne. It’s also a startling localised act of care, likely by a child, and it gave me lots of joy walking past it to the shops everyday. -

HIST30060: SYNTH PIANO JAM TIME
During the lockdowns in Naarm/Melbourne I was lucky enough to have access to a lot of musical instruments through my partner, who is a musician. I channelled a lot of my fear and worry into learning to play piano again, I had learnt as a child. I found this incredibly rewarding. It carried me through. Here’s me masked up with my portable synthesiser. -

HIST30060: 3CR COMMUNITY RADIO
I am a radio presenter and producer and during the lockdowns in Naarm/Melbourne I had to learn how to remote record and broadcast my content. I found myself hushing my housemates in order to record hour-long content from my headphone mic, very solo and DIY. It felt good to be part of a greater community project, broadcasting punk, DIY, and political chat to our regular listeners through the lockdowns. -

HIST30060: GREED SUCKS
I found this chalk slogan on the road hilariously neo-liberal. Absolutely, greed sucks - the way COVID-19 exacerbated wealth inequalities and ravaged communities disproportionately (due to lack of resources/access and over-policing) sucks. Yet, this chalked slogan was a simplification (or even armchair activist representation) of that reality and this made me chuckle.
