Foreign Brothers is Yossi Arad, Arthur Tanzi, Dominic Wagner and Alexandre Schoelcher, four friends who met in Melbourne, and share the same philosophy of collecting, documenting and promoting our community’s diverse talents.
The first Foreign Brothers event was geared more towards adults. A music and visual extravaganza in a laneway last November as part of Melbourne Music Week. Music, performance, art-making all came together in a slick night of entertainment and community involvement.
Today it was the children living in and around the Fitzroy community who got to enjoy the goodness created by the Foreign Brothers. And there were a lot of smiles.
No strangers to the neighbourhood, Helping Hoops set up a half-court basketball tournament and Mike and his coaches provided encouragement and advice to the budding basketballers.
Stenciling, face-painting, juice from the Vegie Bar, sausages on the barbeque, a skating zone and live DJ sets all came together to create a festival atmosphere on a day when rain threatened and then came. But no before a lot of children had a really great time.
Nicely done, Foreign Brothers.
