Malka Lawrence speaks with the remarkable Melbourne artist Anita Lester, whose work spans music, film, painting, and storytelling. Her art explores memory, identity, and the stories that shape who we are. Anita’s latest project, Portraits of Survival, is a compelling collection of 16 oil portraits of Holocaust survivors, currently on display at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum. These works do more than capture faces, they preserve memory, honour lives, and invite us to reflect on resilience, identity, and the power of bearing witness.

Maurice Klein speaks with Hallely Kimchi, about Shelanu, a new Melbourne based initiative created by a group of passionate Israelis in partnership with Etz Chaim, with the vision to build vibrant cultural spaces that serve the local community- spaces that are welcoming, creative, secular and inclusive. Located at 549 Centre Rd Bentleigh, the new hub is being developed as a home for arts, performances, learning and community activities for all ages and backgrounds. Halley tells us that the new Shelanu hub will be radiating light and that in February 2026 is bringing Israeli music icon Shalom Hanoch down under to Australia for once-in-a-lifetime concerts in Melbourne and Sydney. Tickets are available at https://events.humanitix.com/shalom-hanoch-downunder and you can follow all the Shelanu information and progress on the Shelanu FaceBook page: Its Shelanu-Ours.
