Zara Upfold and Kitty Ali, the creative behind Venus AU
Aired on 05.05.25, 12:00pm

The ninth episode of Postmodern Love 'Placeholders’ explored songs that connect us to our love of place.

The feature story for today’s show is a live interview with Khadija "Kitty" Ali, the creative behind the Venus AU - an independent events organisation spotlighting emerging musicians.

Venus AU events are intimate, fostering a community of new and old friendships and have historically taken place at Greenhouse Studios in Petersham.

In June, Greenhouse Studios will cease to be a community organisation that hosts markets, theatrical productions, art exhibitions, creative workshops and live music events - as it is being rebuilt into residential apartments.

To commemorate the space, Khadija Ali will be holding her final event in the space:

Evergreen: An Ode to Greenhouse Studios

Date: Sunday the 18th of May

Location: Greenhouse Studios, Petersham

Price: $42.85

During our interview we also spoke about Khadija's collaboration with The World Is Ours Magazine and Homegrwnau. Links to these magazines below!
