A new exhibition focusing on places of worship within the streetscape of central Melbourne opens at the City Gallery on Thursday 2 September. Through the compelling images of photographer Zoe Ali and text from Christos Tsiolkas, A New Jerusalem: Faith and the City will take visitors on a journey through the streets and laneways of Melbourne, exploring expressions of worship and cultural diversity. A New Jerusalem: Faith and the City will present text relating to city life from the Bible, the Koran and the Torah combined with Christos Tsiolkas’ own observations about life and faith in 21st century Melbourne. These wildly divergent yet compatible texts are presented alongside 159 black and white photographs of places of worship in Melbourne by Zoe Ali. Zoe Ali’s photographs depict all 61 of the places of worship within the city of Melbourne, plus selected favourites from neighbouring areas. Each photograph captures the perspective of a passer-by; peering at doorways, gazing high to the distinctive rooflines or taking a moment to appreciate ornate detail. The City Gallery is an initiative of the City of Melbourne and hosts exhibitions which draw upon its vast Art and Heritage Collection.

Deborah Cheetham’s lecture is called ‘Pecan Summer a 21st century Australian Opera’
Opera is story telling. Story telling is an ancient and traditional practice for Indigenous people. Opera is therefore a valid form of expression for Indigenous story telling.
For more than 20 years I have pursued a successful career as a freelance classical soprano and in all that time I have been the only classically trained Indigenous Soprano in Australia making a living from this profession. It has long been my belief that there are great Indigenous voices out there that go unheard due to the lack of opportunity and a clearly defined pathway.
What if Australian Indigenous voices became the new sound in opera around the world? What if there was a way to encourage young Indigenous singers and musicians to tell their stories through the medium of opera?
