Future Careers Forum: Reimagining Futures
Description
Future Careers Forum: Reimagining Futures
When: Monday 30 November, 2026, 1-2 PM (AEST)
These free Global Classroom learning experiences transcend borders and are designed to equip students with the interdisciplinary and intercultural skills needed to survive and thrive in an uncertain world.
In this forum, in response to our exhibition EMERGENCE(Y), we will explore cutting-edge careers focused on reimagining our futures. EMERGENCE(Y) brings together artists, scientists, technologists, and collaborators to explore how humans and non-humans adapt to a world in flux. In an age marked by ecological collapse, technological acceleration, and social upheaval, adaptation becomes not only a biological imperative but a creative and ethical act. This exhibition asks: how might we not only survive through change but emerge in a critically reimaged future?
