KALI
New graphic novel by Coocoora – coming soon!
Flowers from Jericho
Open 4th May – 30th June
Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm
at Out of the Blue Drill Hall.
Flowers from Jericho is a new exhibition of riso prints created by Matilda Bull during her residency at Out of the Blueprint in the Spring of 2024. Fuelled by fury at the genocide in Palestine, Matilda has used her time to produce protest posters and artwork calling for action and solidarity.
“The driving force of this project is my outrage. At the current massacre in Gaza, at the ongoing Israeli apartheid across Palestine, at the enabling actions of our governments. At the hypocrisy of it all. At the 75 years of injustice endured in Palestine.”

Coming soon: Kali
It’s just another average day back at high school for teenage honey badger Kali and her friends… until a strange new kid shows up and ruins their game of ‘Heroes of Glory’! When her pals are put in danger, will Kali be able to step up and become a real hero?
Out of the Blueprint is excited to share Kali, a graphic novel from Coocoora – preorder now!
