Join us for a very special in-conversation event between renowned artist Patricia Piccinini and international stem cell expert Professor Melissa Little, moderated by Alanta Colley.

Patricia and Melissa will reflect on creativity, scientific innovation in stem cell research and societal impact, exploring how art can help us make sense of science and a field moving toward once‑unimaginable solutions.

The discussion will be anchored in Patricia’s new artwork Células Madre, commissioned for the EMERGENCE[Y] exhibition.

Células Madre revisits Patricia’s 2002 Still Life with Stem Cells and reflects the technological advances made in the last two decades. It explores innovation in research, the implication for future generations and the hope that is felt at the potential to cure the currently incurable.
