I don't know about you, but I dig art with a message - something that challenges people to think, and maybe even look at the world from a new perspective. And when the topic is animals... well all the better!

Right now, the Obscura Gallery, in St Kilda, Melbourne is hosting just such an exhibition of photography. The very talented Kelly Hussey-Smith and Erin Burnett have contributed to create the exhibition Caged and Consumed - exploring the relationship between humans and other animals and particularly how they are used for entertainment and food. Check out these great photos from the exhibition:

Powerful pics, aren't they! If you live in Melbourne and want to see the rest of these stunning images, then hurry down to Obscura Gallery, First Floor, 285 Carlisle St, East St Kilda. The exhibition has only a couple of weeks left.

What did you think of the photos? Got any artists you really admire? Leave a comment.

If you live around Melbourne then we'd love for you to join us this Sunday (25th October) for the opening of a brand new photo exhibition in support of Animals Australia. 'Creatures' is the new exhibition by Melbourne photographer, Sarah Louise. And Sarah is kindly donating all profits from the event to Animals Australia.

Whether you dig art, photography, vegan nibblies or just Unleashed (who wouldn't :P), this is bound to be a great afternoon out. So come along, bring your friends and family and soak up some amazing photography.

When: Sunday, 25th October, 3pm - 5pm
Where: Obscura Gallery
Beller House Suite 11 - 285 Carlisle st,
East St Kilda, Melbourne
