This year’s Melbourne Design Week theme—Design the World You Want—raises a powerful question:

How do we engage differently with the world we currently experience to transform it into what we want?

Thursday May 8th was a wonderfully colourful afternoon as we held a painting workshop for kids featuring Fluid Bearbrick.

The Art of Surface: Texture and Colour in Spatial Design

Part of #MelbourneDesignWeek presented by @NGVMelbourne

May 15–25, 2025

ROMULUS Folio Gallery, South Melbourne

Join artist Angelina Mirabito, and filmmaker and artist, Samuel Galloway for The Art of Surface: Texture and Colour in Spatial Design, an immersive exhibition exploring how light, texture, and spatial design shape our experience of the world.

Weaving Three Stories is not just a workshop—it’s a yearning circle, a space to sit together and honour story, land, and spirit through the tactile traditions of dilly bag weaving and the resonant energy of yidaki healing (didgeridoo). Whether you’re new to cultural weaving practices or returning to them, this gathering offers a powerful opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect under the guidance of an First Peoples artist and knowledge-holder.

A conversation with film maker Sam Galloway | 4th May 2025.

Illuminating Perspectives was our first public conversation, and in many ways, it gave voice to something we’ve both been feeling our way through in our work. Light became the throughline—not just as a technical element, but as a way of seeing, of witnessing, of breaking through what is otherwise unseen.

This Saturday, April 3rd, we enjoyed a Gathering of Women, Mothers, and Children for Creativity celebrating mother in honour of for Mother’s Day next week.

With much heartfelt appreciation to all who helped us celebrate the launch of the Romulus Folio Gallery, Friday May 2nd, our latest creative venture as part of the Artist in Residence program at The Gladstone. This program—made possible through the generous support of The Gladstone/FB Ideas allowed us to activate the vision of an open studio, a vibrant gallery, and a dynamic arts hub, all housed within this incredible space.

On Sunday, April 27th, ROMULUS folio gallery hosted a fully booked Painting with Palette Knives workshop — with a few extra smiles in the room!
