Session #4: Beaker Street Debate!
(with Auslan interpretation)

"Your keep cup won't save you!"

Part of the solution or part of the problem? Individual responsibility in environmentalism: an galvanising force for good, or a con?

See six of our heavy-hitters go head-to-head in the annual Beaker Street Festival debate. Be entertained, persuaded, and enthralled by a battle of brains and bravado! With team captains Barbara Holland and Craig Reucassel, and chaired by Science Friction's Natasha Mitchell, this year's debate is set to be a Festival favourite.

COVID-19 Entry Conditions

Please maintain social distancing where possible.
Wash or sanitise your hands often.
Masks are encouraged.
Please follow all COVID signage and the direction of Festival staff.
If you are unwell, please stay home (see refund policy if required).

For visitors to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG)
Due to capacity limits at our Festival Hub at TMAG, patrons may be required to wait for admission to the site. Ticket holders for pre- booked talks will be given priority entry to TMAG, but may be asked to move directly to the talk venue.

Cancellations and Late Arrivals for events at TMAG
If for any reason you cannot attend your event, refunds will be available up to 1 day before your event. The Festival cannot guarantee refunds beyond that window. Event organisers reserve the right to reallocate your seats if you or your party have not claimed your seats within 15 minutes of the advertised start time of the talks or events.

A Seat at the Table
Beaker Street Festival's pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can't afford to purchase a ticket. Ticket buyers have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger's ticket. You won't know who you've helped, but your donation will go directly to allowing someone else to access this great event.

Need a seat at the table? Email: seatplease@beakerstreet.com.au with your name, email address, post code, your age (if you don't mind - it helps us gather data), which event you're interested in, and whether you would like one or two tickets. Your information will never be shared or made public. If we can offer you a seat, we'll notify you by email within a week of the event.
