The festival shines a light on the local industrial creators and resources in the Hobsons Bay area that is home to craft brewers, carmakers, designers, oil tanks and treasured heritage buildings and features art presentations, activities and more.
Festival highlights include If: Industrial Fashion – a fashion exhibition inspired by local industrial heritage – featuring designs born from recycled shipping containers. Westside Cool will look at a collective of next-wave makers in the west including bakers and brewers.
Elsewhere, Talking Heads will explore the diverse experience of local workers through photography, while The Captain’s Daughter showcases a collection of contemporary jewellery made from 3D modelling software that draws connections between historic artefacts.
As for some plain, unbridled fun, Spark will kick off the festival’s final weekend featuring fireworks, car crushing, sideshows, music, signwriting, printing, furniture making and more.
