DISPOSABLE:
RE-IMAGINING
YOUR WASTE

The lid has been lifted on human wastefulness, but what next? Science Gallery Melbourne’s pop-up season, DISPOSABLE, took you on a dumpster dive to find creative solutions to our throwaway culture.

A month of pop-up art/science installations, experiments and events.

DISPOSABLE was curated in collaboration with Jue Theng Soo, George Goodnow and Brandon Iredale.
