After a few weeks of knocking down walls and painting the space, we were ready to move in. With 16 creative professionals taking over the 8 studio spaces, we also set up ‘Studio 9’ - a big communal space to be used as a film/photographic studio and a space for film screenings, record listening parties, picnics, exhibitions, zine fairs and whatever else we come up with.
BRETHREN JUST BELOW is now established as a nurturing and supportive hub for our collective of artists, designers, writers, photographers and musicians. From an old molasses factory it has been transformed into a creative space that offers inspiration, respite, constructive criticism, collaborations, and many late afternoon gin and tonics.
As an ode to Big Jesus Burger I decided to keep the acronym for our name. Amongst many suggestions (amazing and ridiculous!!!) Michaella from Studio 5 came up with 'just below' - and after narrowing down our favourite B words, brethren seemed to fit snuggly. So we are…
BRETHREN (‘members of a profession, society or sect') JUST BELOW (downstairs from Big Jesus Burger).
