Paper Mountain

Our friends at The Art Space Collective are hosting a creative program for Women's History Month during March. The program will celebrate and share a diverse range of stories that contribute to the complex experiences of womanhood or femininity from creators within the Boorloo community.

Join them on the 8th March on International Women's Day with a soft launch of a group exhibition as well as a panel discussion: Creative Conversations, facilitated by RTR’s Bec Bowman on the unique experiences of Jamilla (Musician), Carla Adams (Visual artist), Sophie G Nixon (Textile artist), Alissia Marsh (Comedian) & Jess Nyanda Moyle (Musician) as artists within the Boorloo (Perth) community.

Creative Conversations: WHM opening night & panel Come celebrate the opening night of The Art Space Collective's Women's History Month creative program!

Paper Mountain has been in its current space for many years now which holds many precious memories and connections with the team, the public and the wonderful artists we have had the pleasure of working with. However, as a team we have decided that as of the 7th of August 2021 it is best for us to move out of current space and move online to take some time to reflect and carefully consider our next steps. This isn’t to say that we will not move into a new venue but rather, we want to make sure we find somewhere that is a perfect fit. We will be operating as normal just without a physical space and will be available to the public to assist with any creative needs. Paper Mountain is excited for the future and believe this will help us become more accessible. We still have some incredible events lined up for all of July (including our 10th birthday celebrations!) so, get ready to party. As always, we love you and thank you for your continued support and understanding. ❤️

Zoraya Dee Dadis () is our third featured artist for Memos #2 💫

“You, Divine is a collection of poems written to remind anyone and everyone who would listen — of the divinity they have within. It is a call, a siren and an alarm — to wake up, to stand tall and to embrace each and every crevice in your mind, in your soul and in your body. It is a cry, a scream — the long-withstanding howls of your own magick, begging to come out, to be heard. These are the letters written for you, with you, by you — finally finding their way to you.”

Tickets are still available via the linktree in our bio 🥂

Next up on our featured artists for Memos #2 is incredible Talking Trash ( ) 💗

Talking Trash aka Hannah Coakley writes strawberry sweet indie tunes straight from the heart and into the world. Her honest writing style creates an intimate and direct connection with anyone who hears her play.

Tickets for MEMOS #2 are still available for purchase via the eventbrite link in our linktree ‼️
