What is possible? What is probable? What is preferable? Our future contains everything all at once and nothing at the same time.

Join us for a conversation with Dr Vincent Alessi, Director of Linden New Art, and a professional futurist to speculate on the multitude of futures we currently hold.

This event will be Auslan Interpreted on request and will require minimum 48 hours notice so we can ensure an interpreter is available. Please email projects@melbournefringe.com.au and we will be happy to provide this service.
