Eventually Everything
Eventually Everything draws inspiration from the words of designers Charles and Ray Eames: “Eventually everything connects—people, ideas, objects…” The project seeks to uncover alternative ways of learning and making, responding to the built environment, rich in history and continuously evolving. As The Pipe Factory building undergoes significant restoration, Eventually Everything connects the past, present and future and invites everybody to actively participate in the evolving narrative through collective storytelling and making.

BARRAS 100
Barras100 was a yearlong, arts and heritage programme, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Barras market. The programme included exhibitions, story gathering events, public talks and a host of creative activities for young people: filmmaking, creative writing, illustration, drama and performance, song writing and opportunities to test out entrepreneurial skills in The Barras market.
In December 2022, we unveiled a permanent exhibition which is on show in The Barras market shed, bordered by Kent Street, Moncur Street and Gibson Street.
