Future Careers Forum: Reimagining Futures
Monday 30 November 2026 | Online Event
The Future Careers Forum is a free online event which provides an opportunity for secondary students, in Years 7-12, to hear about non-traditional career journeys in transdisciplinary spaces.
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 reimagined future?
