                    We’ve partnered with the Victorian Government to deliver Flash Forward, a program to revitalise 40 of Melbourne’s historic laneways.

                    About Flash Forward

                    Flash Forward is creating a connected network of laneways across Melbourne with their own stories, visuals and acoustic designs, showcasing Melbourne’s creative culture and unlocking the previously hidden potential of some of the city’s lesser-known laneways.  

                    More than 80 creatives have been engaged to create works responding to 40 of Melbourne’s historic laneways through lighting, music, and creative installations. To date, 38 works have been completed in the following laneways:
