substance is a roving curatorial collective bringing high caliber experimental arts practice to community.

Based between Muloobinba, Paris, and Naarm, substance produces multidisciplinary events and exhibitions, and fosters opportunities for experimental practitioners across art, performance, sound, and writing.

Headed by childhood friends Belle Beasley and Henry Dooner, substance is led by firm beliefs in boundary pushing practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, inclusivity, and the magic of showbiz.
