Acland Street Village

What’s happening at Linden? 🐍

Anyone walking past recently may have noticed a strange, serpent-like structure creeping from the ground to the first floor.

Made from wire, plastic bottles, and other found waste, it’s hard to tell if it’s complete — or if the unseasonably wet weather is slowing progress.

Is this upcycled waste from the sea? Could this “sea serpent” be part of Linden’s current exhibition C𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔? Possibly… but either way, it’s fascinating and definitely sparking curiosity — art doing its job in public space. So BRAVO! 👏

Coral Futures features works by Erub Arts (Jimmy John Thaiday, Florence Gutchen, Nancy Naawi, Lavinia Ketchell), Helga Groves, Laresa Kosloff, Marian Tubbs, Nicholas Mangan, and Rachel O’Reilly.

The artists offer poetic, speculative responses to coral — the tiny marine architects of reef ecosystems, now facing unprecedented threats from human-driven climate change. This exhibition explores coral’s ecological, cultural, and social significance through painting, textiles, sculpture, collage, film, and video.

Runs until 1 February 2026 at Linden New Art, 26 Acland Street.

Torquay! Sorrento! Lorne! St Kilda!

GOOD KHRMA has cruised up on Acland Street like a longboard on clean summer swell — rolling in from the Surf Coast to say “G’day and Namaste” to our bayside backyard.

New to our street, you’ll find small-batch custom printed tees, laid-back surfwear, and clothes made for salty hair, sun-worn afternoons and slow summer wandering.

Make sure you also take a wander upstairs to a full second floor of all SALE items — because honestly, it’s good khrma to buy second-hand and keep fast fashion from washing more waste into the world - and into our beautiful oceans! DUDE!

If you’re chasing that sand-between-your-toes, incense-in-the-air, good-Khrma-all-round feeling… this is your new spot..
