a bit thing is a world premiere installation where art, family and everyday life are inseparable, led by matriarch and curator Dr Paola Balla and co-created with her children Rosie Kalina and Katen Balla. Visitors move through a house built within the North Melbourne Town Hall, exploring bedrooms, shared living areas and a Blakyard, with artworks embedded in a domestic setting shaped by memory, humour and care. Rosie's room is a hyper-sensory world of colour and youthful imagination, while Katen's room becomes a photographic and sonic archive. A public program across the season includes workshops, screenings, shared meals, yarning circles and Koorioke during NAIDOC Week.
