VENTspace
create - collaborate - celebrate
VENTspace acknowledges that we gather and operate on stolen Yaggera and Turrbal land. We recognize the Turrbal and Yaggera peoples as the traditional and rightful custodians of these lands and waters. We pay our respects to elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We acknowledge the over 65,000 years of ongoing care and custodianship for these lands and waters by the Turrbal and Yaggera peoples.
We recognise the past atrocities against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledge that so-called “Australia'' was founded on the genocide and dispossession of First Nations people. We pledge our alliship in the ongoing resistance against colonization.
Their sovereignty has never been ceded, nor have we seen a treaty.
This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
VENTspace is a coworking space, shooting studio and event venue that aims to encourage and facilitate creativity in Meanjin // Brisbane - providing a safe place for people to create, collaborate and celebrate.
Located in the inner-city suburb of South Brisbane, VENTspace is home to over 30 resident artists. Ranging from musicians, filmmakers, photographers, creative writers, fashion designers and visual artists - the VENTspace residents utilise their private work spaces and the communal facilities to express and establish themselves in a creative, yet professional environment.
Members of the public can also book
the shooting studio / event space at
artist-friendly rates.
VENTspace represents a vision of a loving society where everyone can feel welcome and express themselves. Cultivating and encouraging this art-positive energy is VENTspace’s primary objective. By following through with this vision, VENTspace is quickly establishing itself in the Meanjin // Brisbane art community – providing a welcoming home to endless creatives and their projects.
Visual artis Madeline Holt shares her process as a Meanjin creative and her experience using VENTspace as a safe place for expression, trial and error,
and building scale.
