In this facilitator-led experience, students will be guided through the BREAK THE BINARIES exhibition. BREAK THE BINARIES presents a playful and kaleidoscopic view of genders, identity and their relationship with science and technology, creativity, culture, race and sexuality. The exhibition explores the vast expanse of intersections that bend, blend, blur or break society’s binary codes.
Using their deep knowledge of the exhibition, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, facilitate group discussions and activities, and prompt students to think critically about the works. Students will have the opportunity to independently explore the exhibition with resources containing thought-provoking questions and reflective activities before sharing their experience with the group.
Key Themes: identity; genders; self-image; mental health & wellbeing; human & social constructs; digital technologies; design
