#LockdownProjects

Yellow - Directed and Edited by Julianne Nguyen commissioned for Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) Ahead of the Curve 2021.

The Ahead of the Curve Commissions is for young and emerging artists of colour living around Melbourne, to create new digital artworks that respond to social challenges, including COVID-19. These commissions will empower young storytellers, makers and creators within our diverse communities to create works that:

show their strength and resilience in the face of adversity

explore health and wellbeing and

draw from their lived experiences.

The new digital works created in Ahead of the Curve will be presented online as part of MAV’s Diasporas platform. The Ahead of the Curve commissions will highlight the way the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded inequity and disadvantage for communities of colour in Victoria.

JNU film music composer Vijay Varma gains attention for his song "Main Nahin Maanta," featuring actor-singer Piyush Mishra. Varma previously composed music for Prakash Jha's film "Chakravyuh," stirring controversy with the song "Mehngai." Now, amidst discussions, Varma's music in "JNU" sparks debate over leftist ideology. Despite Mishra's reluctance to sing, Varma convinced him, leveraging their friendship. Originating from a small village in Bihar, Varma's journey to success reflects his inherent confidence. Additionally, he authored a book during the lockdown, hinting at future projects.

From the lockdown files  

My earliest quarantine project. A self-portrait about confinement, feeling imprisoned even though surrounded by things I love, staying in one’s bubble, and the sensation of being suspended in time. In some ways spring 2022 seems like the glimmer of hope is finally getting brighter. In other ways it feels like the calm before the storm. I’m entering the season with equal parts trepidation and cautious optimism. The mask mandate was lifted here a while ago, and like everyone else I’m starved for some semblance of normalcy. I know opinions vary, and where you stand is your business [I’m not here to argue], but personally I still don’t feel safe in many indoor spaces (e.g., grocery store aisles) or crowded outdoor venues (e.g., concerts) unless I have a mask at my disposal. Even though I’m vaxed and boosted, masking for some situations is the “new normal” as far as I’m concerned. I’m glad the snow has melted so I can begin entertaining on my patio again, but chairs will remain spaced 6 feet apart while I continue to curb my touchy-feely nature. I’m longing for the day when I no longer feel like I’m endangering the vulnerable people in my life by kissing them on the cheek, or risking my own health by shaking a stranger’s hand. Given that new lockdowns and new variants are still regular news, I feel like that day is still very far away.

It's a little small for Phil... Feel very lucky to have a super-knitter grandma-in-waiting sending us goodies - though we can't wait until she can deliver in person 🤗❤️ On another note - for those who wish to come to my workshops but are juggling other commitments - all ticket holders will also be sent a link to a recording of the sessions, to accommodate all timings and schedules. Really looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!

Gearing up again, albeit slowly. I am organising my box of leather tools because I am always losing things in it. Takeaway tupperware is proving very useful! #leather #leatherworking #handmade #craftersofinstagram #wip #lockdownprojects https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaAcChnBo6/?igshid=1hf3l4a8qzrw3

My shishi odoshi proto type. It works in principal I,e when I test it with water using a hose pipe. Fiddly to get the balance just right to automatically tip and pour. May have to glue some tiny weights to make it perfect. Now need some 5cm bamboo and a little sola powered water pump and some small pipe. #japanese #shishi-odoshi #japanesefountain #gardenhacks #freegardening #gardeningfree #growyourownfood #growingyourownfood #lockdownlife #lockdownprojects #lockdownlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pOFYwIMGZ/?igshid=b53nu5qvu3j2

I spent the afternoon making myself a skirt out of an ill-fitting dress from @primark (that I haven’t worn in two years! So much more happier with it as a skirt, and happy with the job I did - even without a sewing machine! 🧵 👗 #thrifty #diy #lockdownprojects #nosewingmachine #sewingproject #diyprojects #diyskirts #reuse #wardrobeflip #floralskirt #plussizefashion #plussizeootd https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvVR71JPRM/?igshid=c1ulygvljpnx

I hope the first day of lockdown (for those in England) has treated you all well. I'm feeling very lucky to have some big projects keeping me occupied - today I've been working on more linoprints to go with #HenryMartin pre-orders. You can still get yours from our Bandcamp site! https://philliphenryhannahmartin.bandcamp.com/album/henry-martin-deluxe-pre-order #lockdownprojects #lockdownlife #linocut https://www.instagram.com/p/CHN6GYfBpGf/?igshid=vd2o2eipska6

Another half-done project that this lockdown gave an opportunity to finish. A Korean persimmon leaf money bag, can hold my sewing supplies or even loose changes. Not sure yet what use I would put this one to. #jumoeni #jogakbo #lockdownprojects #koreancrafts #handsewnwithlove #handmade (at Thames Barrier Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_csBdlHWDls3WEzY9hrHB81KBin39Cvv_iuOA0/?igshid=1psnrr8ivxo38

Another lockdown project made by Mr. R: cornhole boards! I love playing corn hole. Thank goodness for easy pickup at Home Depot. :) #lockdownprojects #cornhole (at Peachtree City, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_v0OlLAYAv/?igshid=1nd8xlb6rvvt9

Nagmamadali na siya at magbobonfire na daw sila. May iiyak nanaman dahil sa hotdog🤪 You can make practice sheets like this for their names or different words by using tracing fonts. There are many but we used “LETTERS FOR LEARNERS LINED” -see last pic for more fonts. . If you’re gonna print more, you can actually bind like a pad paper. Stack and press it with heavy books up to almost its edge. The side to be glued should be on the edge of the table. Glide the glue and wait for it to dry 😉 I personally use stickswel 🙂 . . . #jadegabrielle #gabbieat4yo #mommyduties #keepembusy #diymommy #parenting101 #lockdownprojects #lockdownshenanigans https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jp1fUH96SWgheyYe9zUk_S3LAqWPH-7s2bRc0/?igshid=bf6h1m36xwbf
