The newest public art in Dandenong's Settlers Square foreshadows the next exhibition at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre. Created by Melbourne based Ethiopian-Norwegian artist Olana Janfa, Too Much Drama combines the artist's trademark wry political commentary and light-hearted humour. Olana Janfa: Too Much Drama is the 2024 iteration of HOME, Greater Dandenong Council's longstanding program of exhibitions featuring artists from a refugee and asylum seeker background. It will be exhibited at the Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre from 2 July to 6 September with a range of public programs starting from June. The official opening event for Olana Janfa: Too Much Drama will take place on Saturday 29 June, from 6pm-10pm, commencing at Settlers Square before moving across to Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre.
