Curious about the gallery on the ground floor of Melbourne Connect? Join us for a guided and interactive tour of Science Gallery Melbourne’s latest exhibition SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed.This exhibition offers fresh insights on science fiction, a genre known for envisioning alternative futures and imaginary realms. The lines connecting science fiction with ancient philosophy and mythologies are brought to light through Asian and First Nations women artists and collectives. SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed features thematic chapters with contemporary artworks, historical artefacts and references to films from both Asia and the West. As diverse voices gain prominence, the traditionally male-dominated genre of science fiction is slowly evolving. Elevating women and alternative voices, the exhibition celebrates the dream worlds, futuristic visions and fantastical realities of artists calling for a more inclusive future.
