To mark International Women’s Day 2026, Mornington Peninsula Shire presents a new ephemeral public artwork by interdisciplinary artist Chaco Kato. Join us for the launch of Chaco Kato's public art installation with a musical performance by Ayako Fujii and a guided sound bath.

Exhibition dates: Sunday 8 March – Sunday 19 April 2026

Launch: Sunday 8 March at 11am

Lineup: Music by Ayako Fujii: 11am-12pm

Vocal Sound Bath: 1pm-2pm

The project recognises the many ways women sustain cultural knowledge through everyday practices — from handmaking and repair to nurturing environments and communities.

Kato’s work reflects how creativity is often embedded in daily life, and how women’s contributions are expressed through ongoing, often unseen labour rather than permanent or monumental forms.
