About us

 

Established in April 2023, Magenta House is a gathering and knowledge-trading space and social venture platform run by its Housekeepers Mariam Ella Arcilla & Mason Kimber.

How we gather is manifested through micro-workshops, communal eating, soirées, readings, and coworking sessions. And we exchange knowledges via talks & dialogues, recipe-sharing, library open days, and a shop.

Magenta House is informed by Mariam's background in artist-run initiatives, creative producing, publishing, and grassroots organising. It's bolstered by Mason's practice as an artist, educator and DJ. We design programs throughout the year and team up with collaborators from the fields of art, food, social enterprise, architecture, film and music. Projects are a mix of durational and one-off, with a schedule that stays elastic in line with the timelines of our Housekeepers and partners. 

So far, we've staged 30 micro-programs and collabs at Magenta House. This site is being updated, so we plan to post an archive of these programs soon. For now, connect with us on Instagram!

We're open to unique proposals and venue hires in 2025 and 2026 from individuals and collectives in Australia and internationally. Read our FAQs page and contact us to get in touch!
