You said only to call if it’s an emergency, right?

Well, it’s an EMERGENCE[Y].

Our latest exhibition brings together artists, scientists and collaborators from around the world to explore what emerges in urgent times. In an age marked by ecological collapse, technological acceleration, and social upheaval, adaptation becomes not only a biological imperative but a creative and ethical act.

EMERGENCE[Y] opens 6 June at Science Gallery Melbourne.

This playful exhibition plugged into the streaming torrent of content to explore the places our brains go when we want to focus on anything but what we're supposed to be doing.

The gallery is now closed as we prepare for the installation of our next exhibition.
