Pameran POSKAD 2018
Pameran Poskad is a group exhibition of postcard-sized artworks that is open to anyone and everyone! Participants come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are internationally recognised artists; others are students, engineers, homemakers and even little children! Artworks can be in any forms like drawings, ceramics and even soft toys, as long as they fit into the plastic sleeves provided.
Pameran Poskad provides everyone with the opportunity to be involved in art as creator, exhibitor, appreciator, collector and organisers. You can be all of them! Create something you enjoy, experience exhibiting your works with 499 other artists, and find artworks that speak to you from 5,000 submissions; bring your favourites home and continue appreciating them for years to come! Let’s celebrate our creation together.
HOW IT WORKS

AJAS: Screenings then food
When: Tue, June 5, 6:00pm – 8:45pm
Where: UniSA City East Campus, C Building (C3-16 ) (map)
Description
AJAS: Animation Society (Adelaide Japanese Animation Society) is on Tuesday’s @ 5.30pm, in C Building (C3-16), City East Campus UniSA, North Terrace. Our Club is FREE of charge, and the public is welcome.
AJAS (Adelaide Japanese Animation Society) has been running since 1993 and has a long, hearty tradition of showing a wide variety of anime for people of various ages in a friendly, relaxed environment. Anime is a vibrant artform that is ever-evolving, reflecting social attidues, cultural trends, historical timepoints and a variety of genres and styles that can appeal to people of all ages.
Contrary to the common belief that anime is simply for kids, anime is not merely restricted to Miyazaki movies and early morning shows. AJAS acts as a gateway to allow anime fans to traverse the anime universe in depth and appreciate its many forms.
Screenings run from 6pm to 8.45pm, then we look for food.
UniSA Students should join the USASA 2018 AJAS membership at: http://usasa.sa.edu.au/Clubs/ajas

7. JETAA SA/Victoria/TAS
🎶Voice Circle with Yoko Fujimoto🎶
Perhaps there is a dormant voice inside of you that you haven’t heard yet– one that you haven’t had a chance to ‘meet’. Yoko Fujimoto’s ‘Voice Circle’ workshop is a return to the voice in its most primal form, and the introduction of that voice to song.
The goals of the Voice Circle are:
⚫︎To go beyond the idea of being “good” or “bad” at singing, and return to the idea of singing for the simple joy of it.
⚫︎To rediscover yourself through your voice.
⚫︎To create a space that reflects the energies of each participant. It is Yoko’s hope that this experience is one that leads to rediscovery within the self, and one that you can share with others.
⚫︎To relax and take an edge off the stresses of everyday life through releasing your voice.
⚫︎To stimulate the body through exercises which use muscles you may have forgotten you have!
⚫︎To create an exchange of energy in the workshop that will hopefully change you in some fundamental way, so that you may take a part of it with you into the next day and beyond
👉When: Sunday June 3rd
👉Time : 14:15–16:15
👉Fee : $60
👉Venue : Edinburgh Gardens Community Room
Brunswick St., Fitzroy North
