LASHPRESS - IN THE FLESH
On Saturday the 4th of July (5.30PM - 9.30PM), are taking over VENTspace to throw a 🎉MAGAZINE LAUNCH PARTY🎉 featuring an international artist exhibition, live lash art demonstrations, jewellery, DJ and much more!

"Feeling stuck creatively with your lash sets? Feeling uninspired or disconnected from your artistry lately? Wanting more inspiration for Creative direction?

This night was created for you!

One thing I want to make clear… this isn’t just an event for one genre of lash techs or artists. This event is for EVERYONE 💙.

I’m here with open arms to remind you that you CAN be yourself unapologetically, and by doing that, you inspire others to do the same.

This event is more than a launch.
It’s a celebration.
A creative movement we’ve built through LASHPRESSMAG.

We’re incredibly grateful to have our sponsors on board helping bring this vision to life:
, .au , .beaute , , , and ( more sponsors locking in soon).

We truly hope you can be there. This is going to be an experience you won’t want to miss."

Submissions are open for an upcoming exhibition in “Sophos: Feminist Philosophy and Art Symposium”, a collaboration with and . 💙LINK IN BIO!💙

"The theme is feminist philosophy and art history, we are accepting works that explore the themes of feminism, gender, and womanhood. “Sophos” is a great opportunity to platform your work to new audiences inside and outside of Magandjin’s art community.

“Sophos: Feminist Philosophy and Art Symposium”, as the name suggests, is not only an art exhibition, but also a symposium with guest-led discussions and activities. We are on the lookout for thought-provoking artworks, prompting philosophical discussions and/or relate to these themes. The aim of the exhibition is to bridge the gap between art and feminist philosophy.

Please note that any artworks that allude to gender essentialism or TERFism will not be accepted.

We encourage artists of all experience levels and across any media to apply. “Sophos’ will be held at VENTspace in Southbank on 15th May, 2026. You will need to be available to drop off your work, morning of the exhibition, and collect it the same night. Non-local submissions will have to be constrained to digital mediums.

Submit an EOI (link in bio) by midnight, Friday 10th April to be considered, we will require a detailed concept of the work you intend to display.

We are looking forward to seeing your works and getting in touch with you soon! 🌟"

On Sunday the 23rd of November, & present 'REBIRTH' - a deeply personal and transformational performance grounded in Chiho Kagawa’s own experience wandering the edge between life and death.

Born and raised in Japan, when Chiho moved to Australia, a new life began for her. Years later, following a terminal cancer diagnosis and a stint in palliative care, against all odds Chiho miraculously recovered, emerging to find everything from her past—her former partner, family, friends, work–had vanished, and what remained was the voice of her soul.
