‘Other Suns’
The exhibition ran from Saturday 27 July to Saturday 14 September 2019
Featuring local, national and international artists who embrace the science-fictional imagination, ‘Other Suns’ focused on the less familiar underbellies of science fiction: the hybrid, the noisy, the forbidden, and the vernacular.
