Break the Binaries

Bend, blend, blur or break society’s binary codes as part of BREAK THE BINARIES, opening soon at Science Gallery Melbourne!

Installations from local and international artists will present a playful and kaleidoscopic view of identity and genders, and their relationship with science, technology, culture, race, sexuality and creativity. With collaboration at its heart, this exhibition will create connections and conversation through personal perspectives, interdisciplinary creative practice and research at The University of Melbourne.

As with all Science Gallery Melbourne exhibitions, BREAK THE BINARIES has been developed together with Curatorial Panel of young people and an Expert Advisory Group, and features a range of interdisciplinary projects across video, sound, sculpture and multimedia. Find out more about them below.

BREAK THE BINARIES builds on GENDERS: Shaping and Breaking the Binary, which took place at Science Gallery London, King’s College London. It will feature key UK artists and collectives including Adham Faramawy and Sadé Mica, whose works boldly reflect a new wave of hybrid creative practice spanning moving image, sound, sculptural installation, advocating for empowerment and social change.

Supported by the UK/Australia Season Patrons Board, the British Council and the Australian Government as part of the UK/Australia Season, in collaboration with Science Gallery London, Kings College London. f
