NOW SHOWING!

With its everchanging icescape and dynamic climatic forces, Antarctica is one of the most extreme environments on Earth…

inhabiting Antarctica: architectural explorations

How can Antarctica, with all its environmental turbulences and flowing ices, help us to reconsider what inhabiting a place is?

What alternative modes of inhabitation can be developed through the lens of Antarctica to embrace the ideas of change, unpredictability, urgency and contingency?

Students from UTAS and Melbourne universities considered these and other questions when creating the architectural designs showcased in our new exhibition.

The exhibition also features Ice Blink, a video collection that brings the experiences of Antarctic voyages to the gallery. Created by Dr Miranda Nieboer and Dr Frederique Olivier, the collection invites viewers to use their sensory responses as they make their own journey South.

Opening to the community on Monday 22 August...  we look forward to welcoming you!
