Quelle surprise. It appears that Snarling Clementine jumped the gun when she took to Twitter to tell the world that she’d been handed four grand by the Melbourne City Council, all in the name of the arts.

The official announcement was made this morning. We thought you might like to see what it declared as “highlights” — just for the record:

• An online weaving course from Bronwyn Razem using traditional First Nations weaving techniques;
• A three-act monologue performance from Kate Hood about the world of a wheelchair user;
• A series of artworks reimagining the museological conventions of anatomical display by Nina Sellars;
• A virtual-reality film by Aaron Wilson exploring intimacy and unity in the time of COVID-19 through the eyes of recently arrived refugees and immigrants.

Lord Mayor Sally Capp says she is “proud” of the funding.

Capp was elected as the “pro-business” candidate.

Just imagine what the place will be like if the Greens and their allies ever get a majority.
