In this facilitator-led experience, students will be guided through the SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed exhibition.
The exhibition offers fresh insights on science fiction, a genre built on envisioning alternative futures and imaginary realms. The lines connecting science fiction with ancient philosophy and mythologies are brought to light through the work of Asian and First Nations women artists and collectives.
The exhibition weaves together narratives found in Western science fiction literature and cinema with ideas inherent in Eastern spiritual traditions that have evolved over centuries and millennia.
Using their deep knowledge of the exhibition, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, such as speculative futures, through group discussions and activities, prompting students to think critically about the works.
Key Themes: science fiction, feminism, speculative futures, myth and lore, Ancestral storytelling, sustainability
