BLOOD:
ATTRACT AND REPEL

The alluring mystery of blood has fascinated scientists and artists for centuries. From biological fluid to artistic medium, Blood: Attract & Repel was a powerful collision of arts and science that took you on a journey of scientific discovery, social taboo and self-identity.

Part exhibition, part experiment, the season was curated for the curious and was definitely not for the faint-hearted.
