Shapes of Knowledge

An ice cream machine making coal-flavoured treats, live radio broadcasts, a cinema of Indigenous culture and a salon of feminist performances are among the projects at Monash University Museum of Art's latest exhibition, which examines the ways and spaces in which knowledge is produced and shared. Bringing together eight projects from collectives across the globe, including from Australia's A Centre for Everything, the Hong Kong-based Asia Art Archive, South Africa's Chimurenga and The Netherlands Annette Krauss & Casco Art Institute, each project will be activated at various times throughout the exhibition, and involve hands-on activities such as soil sampling field trips, weekend workshops, lecture programs and community performances, all free and open to the public.
