Antarctic Futures is an exhibition, seminar series and set of early learning workshops that considers the nature and future of the Antarctic continent. Proudly presented by the UOW Gallery and Art Collection, in partnership with Inspiring Australia and the University of Wollongong Early Start Discovery Space, Centre for Sustainable Ecosystem Solutions and Global Challenges programs.

We aim to equip citizen scientists with knowledge about how Antarctica is being affected by climate change but also the role Antarctica plays in determining the global climate. We're doing this by showing Antarctica through the lens of both artists and scientists who have visited the continent, allowing the audience to connect with a place that not many people get the chance to visit. We've been working closely with the team at Early Start Discovery Space to introduce the concept of Antarctica to littlies and get their artistic contributions to the gallery as well, which I think is very poignant, as the Antarctica that we adults grew up knowing may not be the Antarctica that our future generations know.
