Above and Beyond
To celebrate the Wheeler Centre’s Spring Fling, six beloved Victorian writers have written original reflections on the theme Above and Beyond, considering what it means to look further, delve deeper, and ask big questions of ourselves and the world around us.
Visual artist ENOKi has created a series of vibrant, visually arresting illustrations in response to the written pieces. This collaborative project is available to view in person at City Square on Swanston from the end of September 2023.

This work was commissioned by the Metro Tunnel Creative Program in partnership with the Wheeler Centre as part of Spring Fling, presented at venues across Melbourne from 2nd to 14th October 2023.
