Break the Binaries

As with all Science Gallery exhibitions, BREAK THE BINARIES has been developed together with a panel of young people and an academic advisory group and features a range of interdisciplinary projects across video, sound, sculpture and multimedia, each presenting a playful, welcoming and kaleidoscopic view of the topic.

Science Gallery Director Dr Ryan Jefferies said the subjects explored in BREAK THE BINARIES have been consistently raised as of interest for young people.  “We work closely with young adults from a range of backgrounds to discuss potential topics for exhibitions, and gender and identity continue to be themes of personal and universal relevance.

“This is a bold and compelling exploration of the subject, where a spectrum of perspectives and personal histories are shared, and social norms and binary frameworks about gender, identity and cultural representation are challenged,” he said.

The University of Melbourne secured the rights to the first and only Australian node in the internationally acclaimed Science Gallery Network. The gallery offers over 3500 sqm of exhibition space, a dedicated teaching learning space in partnership with the Victorian Department of Education and Training, a theatre, an artist residency lab, and social spaces, designed to inspire young adults through art, science and innovation.

 

The Science Gallery Network embeds galleries in leading Universities around the world, with proven success at engaging 15-25-year-olds in STEM subjects and pathways – the key being the presentation of immersive and experimental exhibitions that blend scientific theory and new technologies with contemporary themes and creativity.
