Art and the Endangered
Event description

Held in the galleries at Hadley's Orient Hotel
David Hocking is a leading expert on the evolution of Australian and Southern Ocean marine mammals. His work combines traditional palaeontology and natural history with cutting-edge technology to better understand how animals work and why they behave like they do. Beyond the water’s edge, his work also extends to exploring behaviour and biomechanics in snakes, wombats, devils, Australia’s extinct marsupial megafauna, and birds.
This event is part of the Hadley's Art Prize Education Day, Culture, Creativity and Changing Landscapes. For more events, visit hadleysartprize.com.au/education-day
