Teleport to Venezuela by ‘Whereisnoa’
a Virtual Exhibition on Venezuela and it’s people
Showing 20 - 22 March (various show times)
‘Whereisnoa’ is a filmmaker, immersive storyteller, and VR documentarian whose work dissolves borders—both real and perceived. Armed with an 8K 360° camera, he travels solo to places most people are told to avoid, capturing raw, unfiltered realities often overshadowed by mainstream narratives. His latest project, Teleport to Venezuela, transforms a six-month journey through the country into a virtual reality experience that reconnects displaced Venezuelans with their homeland and invites the rest of the world to challenge what they think they know.

TRIENNIAL 2025: THRIVE by Sacred Heart Mission
12 September - 30 September 2025
TRIENNIAL 2025: THRIVE celebrates almost 50 artworks by 14 resident artists from Sacred Heart Mission’s client services -Rooming House Plus Program (RHPP), Early Intervention Psychosocial Response Program (EIPSR), Bethlehem and Wellness Place. As the inaugural triennial art exhibition, it is an exciting collaboration between service programs for the first time, together finding healing, community and connection through creative arts expression.
Celebrating artists with lived experience of homelessness, mental health conditions and trauma, 2025 TRIENNIAL offers the viewer insight into the journey towards wellbeing and recovery through visual expression. Amplifying survivor’s voices through the creative arts is a means of communication and advocacy speaks louder than words.
Artists in Sacred Heart Mission programs have lived experience of homelessness, mental health challenges, and trauma. Art acknowledges, validates, processes and transforms the artist and their experience. Engagement in the therapeutic arts (“arts for wellbeing”) and creative arts therapies (“arts psychotherapies” with a qualified creative arts therapist) have been well established as an evidence-based support for mental health. In cultivating a therapeutic arts practice and an artist identity, away from diagnoses and stigma, there is space to connect with inner strength, resilience, and growth.
We thank the artists for their vulnerability to express their authenticity through their work, their courage to share through public exhibition, and their trust in us, the viewer, to see them as they are. It is a privilege to witness an artists’ empowering path towards thriving potential.
