EDITOR’S LETTER As I write this, it’s warm, it’s sunny and I’m wearing a t-shirt! And while the temperatures will fluctuate a thousand times before summer actually kicks in (because we’re in Melbourne, after all), it is such a relief that we can truly say the winter is finally behind us! Issue 8 sees us focus on the big debate that seems to be everywhere right now – the upcoming Marriage Equality vote. Why it is a debate at all, and not a given that all should have basic equal rights in modern Australia, I really don’t know. But as we spoke to people locally to get their opinions on the matter, the sentiment was clear, honest, loud and overwhelming, with every single person we asked backing equality, and signalling their intention to vote YES! Away from the big political issues, we have another fantastic exploration of Melbourne’s inner north in store! Our latest ‘arts’ feature focusses on tattoos, as we speak with a number of leading, local tattoo artists to get their opinion on the proliferation of tattoos, and how they got started in this booming creative industry. As the warmer weather teases us, I inevitably start to think of sipping a good ol’ G&T in the sunshine! As such, we decided to have a chat with local gin distillers Dave Irwin and Matt Argus of Brunswick’s Patient Wolf Gin. Here, we find out more about their exciting local project, and what makes the perfect G&T! This month we also find out how we can enhance our fashion wardrobes while also helping to fund some great causes along the way. Chatting with Yvonne Clarnette of Save the Children and Teresita Denegri of Red Cross, we learn about the great work both organisations are doing, and how updating our wardrobes at one of their local op shops can help fund these great causes. Finally, we catch up with up and coming hip-hop, dancehall and soul artists Bahdoesa, as they tell us about their motivations, their unique live shows, and what we can expect from their upcoming residency throughout October at Collingwood venue The Tote. James Fox - Editor & Co-Founder, Inner Circle Magazine Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners of the Land: “We, at Inner Circle Magazine, would like to acknowledge that the land we meet on is the traditional lands for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations, and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the custodians of the Melbourne region, including Melbourne’s inner north, and recognise that their culture and heritage is still important to the Wurundjeri people today. We wish to pay respect to their Elders, both past and present, and further acknowledge the important role that Indigenous people continue to play within our communities.”

Art on the Page
September was a month of conservation, celebration and festivals in the inner north’s art community. From theatre and film to art and photography, as well as activities for yourself to partake in, it was a great month.
Six Degrees in Melbourne
The Melbourne Writing Festival wrapped up, but RMIT’s Professional Writing and Editing students formed together to create their own literary festival, Odyssey: Line by Line at Trades Hall. After last year’s success, these series of events designed to inspire and celebrate writers as well as the industry came to another triumphant finish. Writers experienced their emerging self, the helpful and harmful nature of literary labels, as well as the art of poetry.
Noel Shaw Gallery , University of Melbourne, Now until 14th Jan 2018 This exhibition traces the links between the twentieth century European illustrated book tradition and the contemporary Australian context, featuring works by Pablo Picasso and more. La Mama Courthouse, Carlton, 3rd – 15th Oct Melbourne Writer’s Theatre present six short original pieces curated with the same features: a tram and a secret.
Zenith and Reel Good Short Film Festival
Trades Hall, Carlton, 5th Oct Zenith and Reel Good (Reel Good Film Festival at School House Studios) are teaming up to present an evening of several short, entertaining films. Some are award-winning, created by Australian filmmakers.
The Solander Box
Meat Market, North Melbourne, 26th Oct – 3rd Nov Celebrating the 2017 RMIT’s Bachelor of Arts (Photography) graduate’s work, The Solander Box is showcasing a range of students’ folios before they depart from university.
In an all-time Australian first, The National Geographic Photo Ark continued at Melbourne Zoo, wrapping up 1st of October. This exclusive exhibition showcased photography as a means to inspire people

to change their ways before extinct animal lists grow longer. Through educating and suggesting action to help save wildlife through the zoo’s excellent conservation projects, these photos are possibly more powerful than a form of ‘just art’. September also marked another successful year of Melbourne Fringe Festival, celebrating cultural democracy and art through a wide range of unique events within the inner north, including comedy, dance, performance, circus, cabaret, kids events and social events. You could’ve caught the circus-inspirted, No Frills Cabaret at The Melba Speigeltent, Calypso! Calypso! Calypso! (the wild cruise ship party on dry land) at Fringe Hub: Arts House, or the hilarious Woman Laughing at a Bowl of Salad presented and created by Emma Smith at the Metropolitan Hotel, and more. October is set to be just as arts packed, so be sure to get out there and explore!

TATTOO CULTURE NORTHSIDE Meeting the local artists behind the ink Written by Quincy Malesovas Photography Provided by Tattoo Magic, Blacktide Tattoo, Daniel Martin & Estelle Artois
I have no tattoos - not even a single stick and poke - which puts me in a minority amongst my friends and acquaintances. Anyone subsisting within Melbourne’s northern suburban bubble would likely consider tats pretty commonplace, but that doesn’t mean they only exist within lefty, alternative spheres - far from it, in fact. In 2017, tattoos are no longer radical nor intimidating. 1 in 5 Australians have at least one - but usually quite a few more, and the numbers are just continuing to grow. So of course, there should be no shortage of talented artists ready to ink your skin (and ready to spill the beans on some loves, hates and misconceptions that flood the industry). We got talking to Benny from Tattoo Magic in Fitzroy, William from Blacktide in Collingwood, Tashi and Mez from Green Lotus in Brunswick and Jaden from Sweet Life Tattoo in Northcote about the tattoo culture that they’ve experienced in Melbourne and beyond.
Page 08 • Arts
Inner Circle: Can you tell us about your history as a tattoo artist? Benny (Tattoo Magic): I started at Corpus Tattoo in Brunswick, then I moved to Tattoo Magic. The shop’s been here for 21 years. William (Blacktide): I was at Tattoo Magic for 8 or 9 years before opening this shop. I was working in Japan before that. Tashi (Green Lotus): I opened this shop 10 years ago, and I’ve been in the industry for 17. IC: How did you get into tattooing? Benny (Tattoo Magic): I was interested in the art side of it. I started painting as a kid, did a little bit of art school, had exhibitions. Tattooing pushed me in a similar way. Jaden (Sweet Life Tattoo): I’ve always been drawing and painting, ever since I could hold a pencil. Since I was 14 or 15, I knew I wanted to be a tattooist.

Issue 07 • September
Mez (Green Lotus): I was only 17 when I started. I’ve always been drawing and engaging with the culture, the music. I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal, and you’ll see that all those artists are very heavily tattooed. IC: How have you seen the scene change in Melbourne? William (Blacktide): Lots of shops have opened since I’ve been here. It’s not where it used to be. If you met another tattooist, it was a big deal. Now you go for a beer and you meet 10. Benny (Tattoo Magic): It’s gotten a lot busier. There’s a saturation of tattoo shops in Melbourne, but it’s like the housing market no one knows when it’ll stop. IC: What tattoo trends do you predict? Jaden (Sweet Life Tattoo): Trends and culture are always changing. Stuff keeps popping up that you don’t expect. A lot of simplistic, fine work seems to be very popular. But what’s next? It’s anyone’s guess, really.
William (Blacktide): Minimalistic, simplistic tattoos are kinda the new thing. Everyone has an outline of a dog or a stick figure hand holding a cigarette. It’s the next tribal armband. I’m pretty disconnected from trends. I wonder what will be next, but I don’t really know. Tashi (Green Lotus): There are lots of tattoos coming out of Russia right now. It hasn’t had the same sort of media attention as other parts of Europe. They have a real dark side and are producing some beautiful, very technical work. Mez (Green Lotus): It’s constantly evolving. Right now, people like very simple, black work. Tattoos that are almost like prison tattoos are really getting pushed. People like the roughness. I like it, it just has to be done in the right way so that it doesn’t look like a backyard job. IC: Is there anything you wouldn’t put on someone’s body? William (Blacktide): Something real racist.
Tashi (Green Lotus): I wouldn’t do anything racist. I think most tattooists would say the
same. I stayed here until midnight one night covering up a swastika on this kid’s arm.
IC: Tell us about your own tattoos. Jaden (Sweet Life Tattoo): They’re all American traditional style. I’m getting some more on my stomach. I’m not sure what yet. 90% of my tattoos have just been picked on the spot.
Mez (Green Lotus): I’m probably one of the tattooists with the least amount of tattoos. I don’t have many at all, and the ones I do have are under my clothes. If you’re looking for a professional tattoo from one of Melbourne’s best artists, be sure to visit one of the these shops. You can also follow them online if you want to appreciate the art without the commitment.

Melbourne Festival
September is barely behind us, yet we’re already thinking about what community news and events next month will bring. That being said, last month’s happenings are still fresh in our minds.
Various, 4th - 22nd Oct This event is over three decades old and still going strong. It’s a collection of artsbased events hosted all around Melbourne (including within our inner northern stomping ground). It’s more than just your average creative compilation – it’s a chance for community members to share ideas and discussion around the city’s arts & cultural progression.
Spring Fling Street Festival
Errol St, North Melbourne, 15th Oct On the 15th, North Melbourne takes to the streets with a day of clothing swaps, food/ drinks galore, and even a dog show! So grab your pup, some buds and your sunnies to ring in spring!
Spring Vegan Festival
Meat Market, North Melbourne, 28th Oct Ironically enough, this festival is held at a market named after exactly what vegans stand against. But nevertheless, the event will be chock-full of vegan offerings, including a cruelty-free high tea. Oh, and there will also be an animal rights cinema for those looking to up their knowledge on all things related to animal exploitation.
In local news, Moreland City Council joined Yarra City Council and Darebin Council in no longer recognising January 26th as a day of celebration. A source of much debate, houses all over Australia began receiving envelopes for the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey last month. See our marriage equality feature on page 11, as we ask local members of our community their opinions on the issue. There was also much celebration in the community last month, with the 35th anniversary of Melbourne Fringe Festival a source of all things weird and wacky.
Written by Quincy Malesovas
Another talking point was Melbourne Fashion Week, which saw designers from all over showcase the latest trends. Towards the end of the month, Northcote Library was graced with the presence of our favourite public feminist figure, Clementine Ford, for a talk on her book and political ideology. If you missed her, don’t worry. Darebin Libraries host similar talks and workshops all the time, so be sure to catch the next ones on offer in October. And for the rest of the month, gear up, becuase festival season has come early! You won’t need your bum bags and hammocks just yet though – the fetes and fairs we’ve rounded up are strictly non-camping events, located in a suburb near you. From food festivals to spring solstice celebrations, October’s got it all. Check to the left for a few of our top picks to hit up this month.
MARRIAGE EQUALITY THE INNER NORTH SPEAKS
From 13th of September, houses all over Australia began receiving envelopes, marked with the Australian Bureau of Statistics logo. Inside, a sheet of paper asking one question: should the law be changed to allow same sex couples to marry? YES or NO. To many it’s an answer that seems startlingly simple. Why are two people who love each other forbidden from getting married simply based on their gender? In 23 countries around the world, same sex marriage is already a right – and in several of these it’s been that way for more than a decade. Yet somehow, Australia is yet to make the change. Some are hopeful the postal survey could be the start, with up to 70% of Australians predicted to vote YES, and the leaders of both major parties pledging their support a promising sign. But with the results of the survey nonbinding and the government under no legal obligation to adjust Australia’s marriage laws, there are also those who are worried the survey will mean no lasting change. Here are the perspectives and opinions from businesses and community members in Melbourne’s inner north about same sex marriage, the postal vote and the affect it’s having on them and their community.
TRISTAN MEECHAM, ALL THE QUEENS MEN “I stand for marriage equality and I stand for equality in general,“ says Tristan Meecham. He is one half of All the Queens a company “create[ing] spectacular theatrical and participatory community arts experiences.” The company provide creative opportunities for diverse members of society, the people who, Tristan says, are being needlessly damaged as a result of the debate.
“I am cognisant of the current debate causing unnecessary harm to the community so I want to stand with my LGBTIQA+ brothers and sisters,” he says. “I also want to specifically acknowledge the trauma our trans community are experiencing at the moment. I hope that once the inevitable marriage equality is reached that we continue as a community to consider the social needs and considerations of all our brothers and sisters. [We need] to ensure the social rights of people who may not be at the forefront.”
“It’s about truly working towards what equality means and being aware of not just those that aspire to get married but those that are part of the community who may be getting used as political footballs in part of the debate.” CRUSADER HILLIS, HARES AND HYENAS Started in 1991 by Crusader Hillis and Rowland Thomson, Hares and Hyenas was one of Melbourne’s first queer bookshops. Today, the venue continues to serve as a space for the “development of queer and
literary culture” and “a community hub for the queer community.” It’s this community that’s directly affected by the ongoing debate. Though Crusader himself considers marriage an “outdated institution,” he recognizes that “marriage equality is extremely important to many queer people,” and is hopeful the survey will return a YES response. “I am supporting the YES campaign and doing all I can to ensure that we get the message out and am encouraging people to post their survey forms back. It would be terrible if this campaign was lost because of complacency amongst people thinking the majority will vote so their vote doesn’t matter,” he says.
And though Crusader thinks and hopes the result will be a YES, he also believes the vote “is largely a distraction” to an issue that should have been resolved a long time ago.
“It is obvious to the vast majority of Australians that relationships between consenting adults should be equal, and they are in support of equal marriage... >>> Page 11 • Community

...rights for queer, trans, gender diverse and intersex people. The parliament is failing in its job by not debating the issue as a conscience vote, which is despicable,” he says. “That there was a record number of new registrations by younger people leading up to the closing of the voting registration process and the fact that there are so many heterosexual allies out there fighting for the YES response gives me some faith that there is going to be a strong majority voting YES.”
TOM GUNN, PROUD MARY “We believe all the people who work for us deserve to come to work happy and be in a safe environment,” says Tom Gunn. And this sentiment extends to the wider community also. “We [Proud Mary] definately support the marriage equality act - we want people to be happy and enjoy their life. I’ve got a few friends that will be affected by this. [Getting married is] something they should be able to do. It’s their life and it’s going to make them much happier,” says Tom.
“Stopping in human from doing what another human can do is wrong.”
MEGAN GRIGG, CO-FOUNDER OF RAINBOW COLLABORATION, NORTHCOTE The vote, and marriage equality debate in general, prompted Megan Grigg to start “Rainbow Collaboration”. It’s a Facebook group that Megan explains helps to “share ideas and plans that celebrate and support rainbow families and LGBTQIA+ kids and adults during the marriage equality debate.” They swap resources for use in schools, encourage positive action and focus on raising awareness.
Page 12 • Community
But lack of awareness isn’t all Megan is worried about. As a psychologist, she has real concerns about the harm and ongoing affect the debate is having on the LGBTIQA+ community.
“I think the lack of marriage equality is a human rights issue, and a mental health issue for the LGBTIQ population,” she says. “I think making it a postal survey rather than a vote in parliament is a huge additional assault on the mental health of LGBTIQ people and families.”
relationship or the welfare of my children, but the same can’t be said for my friends and queers around the country.” “I guess the only silver lining is the support being thrown at the YES campaign, but at what cost to the mental health of the LGBTQI community as their very existence is being publicly debated? I’m focusing on elevating the voices of all of the queers I know while we wait for the outcome of the vote, and hoping our government can finally shake off the homophobia and get on board.”
SHELLEY NELSON , FITZROY
“I think that a resounding YES vote will certainly be more motivation to change, but who knows how soon that will happen. I’m confident that Australia will eventually follow the 22 countries that have already legalised this equality, but I do fear for the additional harm inflicted upon the LGBTIQ community until that happens.”
“I’m gay, so especially biased about the importance of marriage equality becoming a reality. What I struggle with is that I’m a human, and yet I don’t have a right to a legal entitlement that 90 per cent of the population do.”
KAZ KERSHAW, NORTHCOTE
“I think it’s ridiculous that the plebiscite is happening, due to what’s little more than in fighting. With it being a survey and in no way binding, there is a chance that the government won’t do anything further about it once the result is revealed and I find that ridiculous.”
“On a personal level, I’m a queer identifying female in a monogamous hetro relationship, and we have children. I can get married if I want to simply because I happened to fall in love with a man. I find it ridiculous that had I happened to fall in love with a woman that right wouldn’t be available to me in this country.” “I’m horrified that we are having a plebiscite for something that should just be a given. I’m “straight passing”, so nobody is questioning the legitimacy of my

people] are happy then it can only affect the community in a positive way. Everyone should have the same rights and privileges.”
RACHEL BRISBANE, NORTHCOTE I had to explain the government wouldn’t let them. A 5-year-old boy says: “That’s dumb”. Even he gets it!” “We are a definitely VOTE YES family. I would’ve preferred Malcolm Turnbull to simply change the law to save a lot of Rainbow Families enduring the hate speech that seems to be suddenly flying around everywhere. Hate speech is not free speech, it’s hurtful. Now that the plebiscite is going ahead it’s important for everyone to vote YES to show our support for Rainbow Families everywhere. Marriage is not tied to the church anymore and a basic human right is that people are treated equally!”
ALYSSA SIOBHAN, PARKVILLE “I intend to vote YES. I think the vote itself is a massive waste of money and is harmful.” “I am saddened that it is a debate at all, and that the process is allowing so much misinformation to be spread. Regarding the importance of same- sex marriage, it’s pretty simple - two people love each other and want to be able to be married [should be able to], and to have the same legal rights afforded to a man and woman who marry.”
MELODY MEGEGGLES, NORTHCOTE “I think the entire argument regarding same sex marriage being against religion is absolutely untrue. Allowing marriage between anyone has no threat to the sanctity of marriage in any religion. [If
“I think the vote is unnecessary and a waste of time and taxpayers money. Best I know it’s not even binding, which to me means if the government doesn’t like the answer, it’s not binding! We don’t vote on other things, like whether we support war with our military, so why this issue? In terms of why marriage equality is important? Well I can’t see how some relationships are less worthy. Personally, I’d have been delighted if Australia was first to legalise it, so I’m hoping the vote works to get it through.”
ROSEMARIE DE HAAS, NORTHCOTE “I can’t see why this is such an issue. Who a person loves or marries is nobodies business but theirs. We just need loving secure homes in which to live and raise our families. The gender of people in that home is irrelevant.”
MEGAN BURROWS, NORTHCOTE “I’m sure my feelings are similar to a lot of people. I’m angry, I’m embarrassed by my country’s behaviour, [but] I’m hopeful. I feel really upset that it has come to this and everyday people; members of our community are being held up to a vote like this. Whatever the case I will vote YES.”
“The argument for NO? I just don’t understand the reasoning. It’s not as if there will be an extra ‘gay marriage tax’ or something on everyone. It affects no one else. It’s archaic. I just don’t like it.”
PENELOPE RAY, FITZROY “I think that anyone who wants to get married should be allowed to. I don’t think gender or sexual orientation should matter, and I actually don’t understand the NO arguments beyond the religious based ones, and since I’m not religious I don’t agree with those either. I think there will be a strong YES vote, then it won’t be implemented for a long time but will come in within 10 years.”
JOHANNA MORCOM, NORTHCOTE “I will be voting YES to marriage equality, as it is so important for everyone to be afforded the same rights. I don’t really agree with the vote as I think it’s awful for people’s love and lives to be judged by others, and it’s all just a bit ridiculous.”
“Love is love and is no one else’s business. I really hope that Australia gets this right.” ALIX SAMPSON, FITZROY “I don’t believe we should be having a vote at all to be honest. We shouldn’t be voting on other people’s basic human rights. My opinion on the matter is that religion (if that’s what the whole issue is) evolves with the times, and shouldn’t be taken word for word. People no longer believe that cheating on your partner is a crime, or that you should sleep your brother’s wife if he dies, or that your wife should be put to death if she loses a hand, so why is this any different? People should be allowed to marry whoever they want! It doesn’t impact anybody else - at all!”

The structure, all steel windows and thick concrete block work, used to be an old CSIRO printing library in the 1960’s, and over the last four months has been transformed by local architect Jerry Wolveridge and his firm into a collaborative workspace with a difference. Comprising ceilings exceeding 4m and constructed to strict Commonwealth Gov’t standards on the Byron Street plot, the space oozes industrial history and charm. “For us it was retracing this recent history,” says Jerry. “We searched through a stack of old CSIRO documents and learned as much as we could about the history of the building.” The name: Building No. 2, sits emblazoned on the concrete wall in powerful black lettering and underneath, a bright blue door reflects the CSIRO brand. “Trawling through piles of information, we were intrigued by the formality of the provided documents and the evident filing systems, in particular the dynamic visual of the stamp,” explains Jerry. “Grin Creative came up with the logo based on the concept of the stamp, and the blue door is based on the CSIRO website - their brand is the blue.” Through the blue door sits the building’s core. A set of offices and communal spaces, each individual room, and indeed the collective interior again highlight the history of the space. It embodies what Jerry describes as “the simple strength of the building,” with pouring
natural light from original skylights, and wonderful features like tall steel windows and original fire doors. “We just tried to really use the space for what it is,” he says. “We’re using the existing building to create a range of different types of working arrangements.” Split over two levels, the building consists of four private offices and 12 dedicated desk spaces in the communal work area plus a flexi-desk area adjacent the ground floor courtyard. “All of the offices are different and have different attributes that will appeal to different people,” says Jerry. There’s also a meeting room with large screen, high speed internet connection and VR facilities. Downstairs, members can use a fully equipped kitchen for entertaining and hosting meals. The building’s north facing courtyard space has also been transformed, becoming a leafy, open oasis that Jerry says will be available for functions and events. “It’s just a very simple unadorned industrial building and its fabulous quality is its scale and volume of space,” says Jerry. “You’ve got hydronic heating, high speed Internet, abundant natural light and an open work space all in this fabulous, quality middle century industrial building.” Designed by Wolveridge Architects, Building No. 2 is opening soon.

Post Minimalism: Don’t be fooled, this is not the same as minimalistic. This style is all about taking the ordinary and making it seem extraordinary. Think ultimate comfort, subtle pleated folds, all to the minimalistic back drop of a soft, earth-toned colour pallet. See-through look: This daring fashion choice has been seen employed by a lot of celebrities and the see-through or “peeka-boo” trend a solid favourite. Typically witnessed in the form of see-through tulle skirts paired with bloomers, sheer shirts with strategically-placed seams in either pastel hues or black, this look is becoming more and more common in stores and a
fashionable way to keep cool as the weather warms up. Brightly coloured ensembles: No need to be shy with your colour choices, guys and gals: go loud and go proud with splashes of intense colour! This season sees the trend of wearing head to toe in one bright magnificent colour. 80s revival: We sniffed this one coming a mile away: Did anyone say ruffles? Pleather? Shoulder pads? The 80s is back with a modern twist to enhance your eveningwear with big belts, off-the-shoulder chiffon dresses, enormous stilettos, and a generous helping of glitz and glory. Flower Power: Head to toe flower power is everywhere at the moment, from hats to blazers, to guys to girls, to shirts through to shoes. What better way is thre to embrace the reawakening of nature this Spring?

FASHION FOR GOOD Words by Ruby Syme Photography by Jean Baluch
The local op shops contributing to a whole lot more than just great fashion and retail therapy There’s nothing like buying a new pair of jeans, a dress or a jacket... even better if the dress is a $10 bargain, the jacket is vintage leather and those jeans are perfectly worn at the knees. And what if besides fitting perfectly, those new clothes also somehow helped those in need? Well, buying something at Save the Children Op Shop in Northcote or Red Cross Collingwood does just that. Both organisations work tirelessly to help those affected by disaster, hardship and loss, and their op shops, while providing some great bargains and some fashion gems, contribute a whole lot more than just retail therapy. Next time you’re out and about seeking the perfect addition to complete your latest look, consider heading to your local op shop, grab yourself a bargain, and help a great cause.

Save the Children One of the biggest children rights agencies in Australia, Save the Children have been working to help children affected by disaster for over 90 years. As Retail Area Manager Yvonne Clarnette explains, they are at the forefront of saving children’s lives when disasters strike and create lasting change for children and their families through long-term development programs. “Last year, Save the Children worldwide made a difference to the lives of over 12 million children and adults through our programs, and knowing our Op Shops hold a part in that figure is hugely important,” says Yvonne.
With a variety of programs operating in over 120 countries around the world, the effect of the op shops may seem small, but Yvonne explains they have real purpose.
“The volunteers gain so much from their time in store - friends, satisfaction, experience - no one walks away feeling they have wasted their time,” she says.
“[It’s] the little choices our community makes such as buying clothing and goods from our op shops that go far beyond what you can see,” she says.
“Some volunteers have even had their lives turned around through volunteering by regaining confidence and allowing them to re-enter the workforce.”
“It’s as simple as choosing to walk into our Save the Children Op Shop over one of the large retailers, a decision which ultimately helps a child somewhere.”
It’s a journey Save the Children and the volunteers take together.
What the op shops also help to do, Yvonne explains, is raise awareness about the work that Save the Children does. Another major focus of the stores is to raise funds for programs and emergency aid.
“Some volunteers have a creative side and love merchandising the store, others love the library and keeping the books in order. Some volunteers have a knack for sales and all love the banter with customers.”
“The amazing part about the money our op shops raise is that it’s not restricted in how Save the Children spend it – meaning it can be used wherever Save the Children need it most, such as trialling new programs or extending the life of a well needed program no longer receiving permanent funding,” Yvonne explains.
“The Northcote volunteers are a brilliant team working together with the stores success always in their best interest.”
And with support programs in countries like Pakistan, Ethiopia, Laos and Myanmar this funding is integral. The organisation also works across every state and territory in Australia, giving support and assistance to those in need. In Melbourne, Save the Children runs a variety of programs dedicated to helping children, families and those in need or at risk. There’s the Multicultural Women’s Group, providing newly arrived females and asylum seekers with settlement support and the Mobile Youth Service which assists young people to improve their health, wellbeing and community connections. The organisation also operates seven op shops across Victoria – and it’s not just children in need that these stores are helping. At the Northcote store, where there are about 20 volunteers, Yvonne explains it’s “a two way street.”
“Everyone brings something important to the store,” says Yvonne.
Yvonne herself has been with Save the Children for nearly a year, and says the ride has been “wild.” “My memorable experiences always link back to the people I’ve met,” she says. “There are customers who perform random acts of kindness, such as bringing in particular parts to fix door hinges and services donating their time for otherwise costly operations and volunteers that go above and beyond expectations to help not only the store, but each other.” Yvonne is full of praise for the workers and for what they contribute not only to the store but also to the organisation as a whole. “The generosity of people amazes me every day. But our volunteers are what makes our op shop world go round,” she says. “We are nothing without them.” If you want to get involved with the fantastic work Save the Children does, they are always looking for dedicated and reliable volunteers with and/or without retail experience!

Red Cross “Basically, we aim to help people make it through times when life hits them hard,” says Red Cross store manager Teresita Denegri. The organization has been in Australia for around 100 years, and today, Teresita explains, “Red Cross is a way for people to help each other.” The organisation operates right across Australia supporting communities and offering practical support when disaster hits. As part of a global humanitarian movement with the mission to “prevent or reduce human suffering, wherever it is found,” the Red Cross is at the forefront of aid and support for those in need. “We’re open to everyone,” Teresita says.
“It might be when they’re threatened by a natural disaster… it could be when they need some practical help to get to a doctor, or live independently at home. It might be when they’re facing a huge challenge, like starting their lives over after years of being a refugee.” “What we offer is practical help, a listening ear, useful information and simple kindness.” The Red Cross op shops help make all of this possible, and like Save the Children it’s the funding that these stores provide that really makes an impact to the organisations cause. The shops also provide the opportunity to “train teams of volunteers and staff to support the most vulnerable people in our communities,” Teresita explains.
“Our Collingwood store has lots of volunteers from all ages and backgrounds - all continents are represented in our shop! We have a committed crew,” she says. “Volunteers are the backbone of our entire operation.” It’s working with these people that has had the biggest impact on Teresita.
“Developing connections with volunteers has really resonated with me, both personally and professionally,” she says. And the work they do together is something that Teresita finds incredibly meaningful. “This kind of work feels right – it’s meaningful and important.”

PATIENT WOLF GIN SAYING NO TO THE CORPORATE GIG: THE STORY BEHIND THIS YOUNG BRUNSWICK GIN DISTILLERY Words by Simon Wraight Photography by Jean Baluch Patient Wolf is a Brunswick based gin distillery. It was founded by two friends, Dave Irwin and Matt Argus, who shared a common bond over a love of gin and a willingness to seek opportunities outside of the corporate grind. After a few years refining their gin distilling skills, the pair released their first gin last December, and it is already making waves in the gin world. As Matt explains, “we used to meet at Spleen bar in the city and it would be a therapy session, we’d have a few beers and think ‘there has got to be more to it than this.’ We called it the ‘death train’, catching the train into the city to go to our corporate gigs.” After a while the pair decided to try their hands at distilling. They had always loved hand crafted food, beer and wine, and had seen how the Page 20 • Food & Drink
boutique distilling scenes overseas had started to take off. They saw a gap in the market and decided to pounce. Their first project was to learn the ins and outs of distilling gin. Neither had much experience, but they started reading and researching feverishly to learn as much as possible. Although they lacked experience, they made up for this with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for good gin. They reached out to distilleries in Australia and around the world, and they found a community of like-minded individuals who were only too happy to help. Dave explains that although they didn’t have the resources of other distilleries, they were completely focused on going about it the right way and ensuring that they could
produce a quality product. In Australia you need to get a license before you can start distilling. And to get the license you need to have your still set up. It was at this point that Dave and Matt realised they were all in. They put down a deposit on a still from Germany, and started to look for a place to set it up. They ideally wanted to set up the distillery within close proximity to the city, but after looking around for a while, and with the still on its way, they started to worry that they would have to set up in an outer suburb where there is more space for industrial parks. They eventually discovered a warehouse that was up for lease on Albert Street in Brunswick, and they jumped at the opportunity.

They have now been in the building for a year and a half, and have found that being located in Brunswick has been a huge positive for them and the business. “It is a competitive advantage being so close to the city. Being so accessible and so close to many of the bars that we supply,” explains Matt. But it isn’t just the geographic location that has assisted, it is also the local community and their willingness to look out for one another that has helped Patient Wolf prosper. They have developed close relationships with many
of their suppliers who are also located in and around Brunswick, and have found other exciting businesses that they see a potential to collaborate with in the future. The pair couldn’t be happier to call Brunswick home. After securing the warehouse and installing the still, it was time for them to put their knowledge to the test and to release their first batch. The first gin they’ve created is a Premium Dry Gin, and they are constantly experimenting with botanicals and hope to have other types created in the future. “We have got some ideas in the pipeline. We have a lot of learning and understanding from our trials. We tested 60-80 botanicals to find the right mix. Some we wouldn’t use again, some worked really well. At the moment we are hitting the books again and working through what the next product is,” shares Matt.
They are both incredibly driven, and as Matt explains “I don’t think we would do it justice if we stuck to just one [type of gin]. If you are standing still you are going backwards. We want to keep innovating and be creative and keep pushing ourselves to come up with new products.” Plus, as Dave interjects “it is fun testing a whole lot of gin.” They are also hoping that they can turn the distillery into a cellar door so people can try the gin straight from the source. It is a disservice to gin to suggest that it is purely a summer drink, but at the same time it is great sitting in the sun with a gin and tonic. So with the days getting warmer and the sun starting to shine through, check out Dave and Matt’s perfect gin and tonic recipe below.

GERMAN CINEMA MELBOURNE Snippets from our Q&A with the team behind the 2017 German Cinema Melbourne film festival, 17th - 25th November The full interview can be found at innercirclemagazine.com.au/lifestyle/ german-cinema-melbourne
Q. For those who don’t know, what is German Cinema Melbourne? A. German Cinema Melbourne (GCM) is a young, alternative and innovative film festival that takes places in Melbourne for the first time, quasi as “the little wild sister” of the previous Festival of German Films, which ran in Australia from 2002 to 2016. We are a small festival team, consisting of a handful of movie lovers, who came together because of their common passion for German cinema. We aim to create something new, fresh and unique, and curate a film festival that ties German culture and German cinema together, providing the audiences with a window into current societal, cultural and cinematic developments in Germany.
Q.What are the intentions behind the festival? What do you want people to take from the films on show? A. Of course we want to spread and share our passion for German cinema, which has a long tradition and is well known for its wide range of different genres. Our movie selection shows a snapshot of this range and all our selected films – except one restored classic film – are produced in 2016/2017 and therefore give a profound insight into the current German film landscape. We want to take the audiences with us on an exciting journey through German contemporary cinema, which is also visualized in our advertising poster that shows GCM as a departure to new shores. What we want people to take from the films and the film festival itself is a feeling of enthusiasm that also small things can become big. Every person who takes part in our crowd funding beforehand and who attends one of our screenings, shows his and her support for the alternative cinema film festival culture. This film festival is not only addressed to the German community in Melbourne but for everyone who loves German films. Together we want to experience nine days full of exciting films, fun and discussions in the exceptional and insider location of the
Backlot Studios in Southbank and shout together “What a ride!” Q. Which films should we be looking out for at this year’s festival? Certainly all 11 films have distinctive ideas, themes and stories. All are Australian premieres, apart from Axolotl Overkill which screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival this year. The narrative Fritz Lang is a strong drama about the famous filmmaker shooting his first sound film “M” in 1930 and uses black & white imagery to great effect, while Berlin Falling is an angry terrorist and nationalistic based drama, which resonates due to current world events. However, all films are impressive, entertaining and challenging in their own ways and demonstrate the strength of the German (and Austrian) Film Industry. It should be noted that none of these films have an Australian distributor, so this film festival may well be the only chance to see these fine films (all English sub-titled, and rated 18+). It also should be noted that all films will have a short, contextual introduction before each screening, and the opportunity for post-film discussion as well as some panel discussions, after each screening. Taken from our Q&A with members of the team behind this year’s German Cinema Melbourne film festival. Be sure to check out the full interview at innercirclemagazine.com. au/lifestyle/german-cinema-melbourne. You can catch German Cinema Melbourne from November 17th - 25th at the Backlot Studios, 65 Haig Street in Southbank.

“Bahdoesa is bigger than just a duo that performs. It is a team.” So explains Muma Doesa when I asked her to define Bahdoesa. You see, Bahdoesa isn’t a conventional duo. Bahdoesa is comprised of two incredibly talented polymaths who cross over genres and are creating their own unique path in the local music scene. Whether it is DJing, MCing, rapping, dancing or singing, Bahdoesa are doing it all their own way. The duo, which consists of Quashani Bahd and Muma Doesa met in the days of MySpace, and have been friends and collaborators ever since. Muma remembers looking up Quashani’s MySpace page and thinking, “wow, who is this person and why have I not met them?” Not too long after, Muma’s band needed a singer, so she gave Quashani a call. The pair have remained best friends ever since, and since 2013 have performed as Bahdoesa. With both of them keen to push the limits of their creativity, Bahdoesa have become known for their blend of hip-hop, dancehall and soul, as well as their high-energy live shows. As Quashani explains, “Mix it up. That’s how I got into the whole rapping thing; I wanted to be more diverse. I didn’t want to be known as just ‘that chick that can sing.’” Thanks to their ability to cross genres, the pair have been asked to perform at an increasingly diverse range of festivals and play at a variety of venues. They also credit an increase in women becoming involved in the music scene for these invitations, as well as a conscious decision by many booking agents to include more female talent on bills. Female participation and inclusion in music is something that both Quashani and Muma are extremely passionate about. They are actively trying to encourage more representation of women in music, and are trying to change the industry from the inside. As Muma explains, this is one of the most exciting things that is happening in the Melbourne music scene at the moment. “A lot more women are organising festivals
and gigs now, and they are trying to push more women into the industry from the inside which is really great for us, because there wasn’t always that much of a push. I think that is how we are able to get so many diverse genres of gigs, where we are still doing our thing as we normally do, but it is more solidarity of women, and not being so afraid of mixing genres up, which I think is great.”
dancing and in between the songs.”
One venue that is at the forefront of the Melbourne scene, and arguably Australian music, is The Tote.
The Tote takeover promises to be a month long expression of who Bahdoesa are. Muma explains, “It is really important for us to represent ourselves correctly. I like to control the way I am represented because I don’t want someone else controlling how I am represented, or what I am trying to say, or what I am about. When you have a residency it allows you to control the atmosphere around you. It allows you to get the message across on all levels and really make people see what you are really about.”
Bahdoesa first performed at the venue for Wetfest III back in February, and come this October they will run a month long takeover. Muma explains how after performing at Wetfest III, The Tote asked them if they would like to do a residency. It was an opportunity that they both jumped at. Whilst the venue has been known as the home of rock and punk, they have shaken this image in recent years.
Quashani adds, “Sometimes you will get an extra chorus or something, we just have to be aware that it is happening.” “After the show she will say ‘that was amazing, you were totally in some zone.’ So there is always going to be those really special moments that will never be recreated again.”
So whether you are into hip-hop or dancehall music, or just want a good night out, head along to The Tote each Sunday in October to see an explosion of creative energy and talent.
But for Bahdoesa, playing at The Tote feels like a natural fit. “The punk rock scene has a lot of similarities with hip-hop, with the DIY thing and also the political leanings and the feminists that are into punk and the feminists that are into hip-hop. So it kind of makes sense,” shares Muma. The prospect of performing every Sunday at The Tote has been slightly daunting. Quashani highlights that they are feeling a bit of pressure to get people through the door. But they are both natural optimists, and have also found inspiration from an unlikely source, Kevin Costner. “It’s like the Kevin Costner movie Field Of Dreams. If you build it they will come. If we blast it they will come.” And blasting it on stage is something that Bahdoesa are experts at. Their live shows combine an array of dancing, singing, freestyling and MCing. And whilst the majority of the performance is tightly rehearsed, they also like to leave space to be spontaneous. Muma explains that, “we rehearse the songs, but we freestyle the
