Come and find refuge in each other.
For six years Arts House’s annual Refuge program has imagined how we might prepare in the face of a disaster. In 2021 we ask what happens when these crises meet.
From droughts to floods, mass displacements to pandemics and heatwaves, Refuge was never just a hypothetical. For the final instalment in this long look at climate crisis, we’ve invited emergency experts, artists, scientists and deep thinkers from a broad range of communities to share knowledge, experience and tradition together, with you.
Taking place over four weeks, experience ten new projects stretching from the comfort of your home to the pavers of neighbourhood streets, and all the way to the North Melbourne Town Hall.
It’s time to share.
