On the side of the road
fallen leaves gaze at the high sky
recalling how close we were.

Join us for correspondences After Dark, an Autumn picnic in the park, a visit to NGV, and more.
It has been such a lovely month so far, welcoming you into the space each week to discover Yoko's new installation in connection with her residency project, Yoko Ozawa: Yohaku (blank space).
Today, we’re thrilled to share In search of blank space, a new release by Genevieve Fry and Esala Liyanage of Cold Hands Warm Heart, a sonic response to Yoko's practice and ideas, and the sense of place on-site at correspondences, on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country.
It was commissioned and recorded earlier this month during their performance with us as part Brunswick Music Festival. Press the button below to listen or come by Thursday or Friday evenings for correspondences After Dark when we will be playing the track. We’re excited about sharing April with you. On Friday, April 14, we are planning a morning visit to the NGV to see Melbourne Now, with a particular focus on the work of current resident Yoko Ozawa and past resident Ali McCann. On Sunday, April 16, we’re hosting an Autumn holidays picnic in Princes Park for families and friends. We welcome children and their guardians and individual adults and friends to join as pairs to learn a little about haiku while enjoying the season with a yummy spread of picnic snacks. On Wednesday, April 19, we are thrilled to have photographer Annika Kafcaloudis returning to the site to photograph Yoko’s residency and installation process in action. Read on to find out more and book your place to join our events/activities, including our picnic and open house sessions in April and later this month.
We thank Merri-Bek City Council for partnering with us and helping to make next month’s programming possible.
Warmly

Autumn holidays — Haiku & Family & Friends Picnic in Princes Park
Sunday, April 16, 2023, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Princes Park, Carlton North. We invite you to picnic with us in Princes Park to celebrate Melbourne's Autumn. We'll explore the Japanese art of 'haiku' with resident artist Yoko Ozawa while enjoying a yummy spread of Japanese pound cake, yuzu soda and tea or coffee. You can also pre-order a yummy bento box from our friends at Hareruya Pantry.
__________
The first part of our picnic's proceedings caters to children aged 7-11 years and their attending parent/guardian. But adults and their fur children or pairs of individual adults are welcome. Places for children are limited, however, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
The second part of our picnic also engages children but also provides space in the proceedings for adult attendees to write haiku and chat about their poems with their children or other adults. We'll also bring a range of poetry collections from our library for adults to enjoy.

Open House - March & April Yoko Ozawa
Wednesday, 29 March, 11:00-2:00 PM
Wednesday, 19 April, 11:00-2:00 PM
correspondences 39 Sydney Road Bulleke-bek (Brunswick) VIC We welcome individual and group visits/tours of our space and the current exhibit on open house days. If it suits their schedule, the resident artist is also on-site to engage with the visiting public informally over coffee/tea - to discuss their exhibits or aspects of their research, ideas base or making process with curious patrons.
The objective is to create a space for informal encounters where new connections between our in-house team, the artist, our patrons, and the local community can develop. Individual visitors and small groups don’t need to reserve their visit on these days. We ask schools, businesses and community groups with 4+ people to contact us 1 week before your intended visit date at info@correspondences.work. If another date suits you better, just let us know, and this can also be arranged.
