Help Land the Mothership: A Creative Hub & Future Immersive Artwork
We see beauty in what others might overlook. Where some see a rusty old bus, we see a Mothership—a symbol of endless possibilities and a canvas waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary. But we need your help to turn this dream into reality.
About Us:
We are a women-led arts collective based in Melbourne, passionate about transforming the forgotten and discarded into vibrant works of art. Our mission is to empower women and non-binary-identifying individuals to learn new skills, break down barriers, and create a community built on creativity, camaraderie, and self-expression. You might already know us for our work on Sparky, the once-forgotten electric utility vehicle that we lovingly learned how to restore and turned into a magical rainbow art car, thanks to the support of Melburners and Common Arts Victoria.
Our Next Mission: The Mothership
Our new project is bigger and bolder. We want to transform a 1947 Leyland PD2 double-decker bus, lovingly dubbed the Mothership, into "The Womb"—an immersive audio-visual sensory experience designed to take you back to the ultimate place of safety and creation. Imagine stepping into a sanctuary where you can reconnect with your innermost self, reflecting on what it might feel like to be in your mother's womb.
Transforming her into the womb is going to be a long process, so until then, The Mothership will serve as a creative hub and meeting place for our collective. We’ll host workshops, events, and collaborative art sessions at her new home in the courtyard of Retropolis in Preston, making it a space where ideas come to life, and creativity knows no bounds.
