Thingamabobs

FUSE Festival Autumn 2023 is a contemporary, multi-arts festival presented by the City of Darebin that turns the community into a platform for local artists and performers to highlight their creative and rich, artistic talent. FUSE takes place every Autumn and Spring. This Autumn, from 11–26 March, Darebin’s streets, parks, venues, theatres, galleries and other public spaces will all be transformed into locally unexpected zones of art, culture and creativity.

As part of FUSE, the City of Darebin commissions works to be presented throughout the duration of the of the festival. This FUSE Fund initiative gives local artists an opportunity to explore new practices and engage with additional elements to improve, perfect and diversify their art form.

THINGAMABOBS is an interactive space full of surprising machines and quirky contraptions. It is a kinetic installation that bounces between the absurd, the deeply human, and the straight-up funny. Spectacular, silly, romantic – all thingamabobs have a story to tell. It’s an installation that collects the imagination of kids and seniors into an entertaining space inviting curious people to look and listen.
