SUMMARY:The dark web: a foray into fungal realms with Dr Alison Pouliot
DESCRIPTION:Bookings are essential: call 6333 6281 \nJoin ecologist\, mycologist\, photographer\, Dr Alison Pouliot in an exploration of the dark web beneath our feet. \nLike the online dark web\, the clandestine workings of fungi in the subterrain are also hidden. Mycologists – scientists who study fungi – are starting to make sense of how they operate\, but the detail of their activities and the players involved largely remains a mystery.\nAlthough little known\, the roots of almost every plant in the Australian landscape are intimately entwined with fungi. Fungi not only help plants access water and nutrients but also increase their resistance to drought and disease. They build architecture in soils\, aerate them\, and allow water to gently percolate to deeper horizons.\nIn this highly interactive seminar\, we’ll explore these unruly fungal renegades and how they contravene the frameworks we use to understand life\, but also how they might inspire the innovative thinking needed to navigate an uncertain future.\nAlison will also share some stories from her adventures during the writing of her new book\, Funga Obscura: Photo Journeys Among Fungi. \nCopies of Alison’s books will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Author Talk - Age of Doubt
DESCRIPTION:Join editors and journalists\, Tracey Kirkland and Gavin Fang\, to discuss this insightful collection of essays and the lessons to take away as we navigate this age of doubt and misinformation.Explore the origins of misinformation culture and its impact on democracy. This collection looks at the moral and ethical foundations our institutions are built on and shines a light on the media and its role in sorting fact from fiction.Bookings essential: 6333 6281 \nCopies of the book will be for sale on the night. \nAbout the bookToday\, trust seems harder to find than ever before. It’s hardly surprising we feel that way. Our politics is polarised\, our online world is awash with misinformation\, and we’ve lost faith in our bedrock institutions. Yet\, without trust\, we cannot work together to solve the big problems we face.But there is a way back. A way to rediscover trust in our leaders and institutions. A way to tackle the doubt.This insightful collection of essays brings together top thinkers from across the globe in media\, science\, government\, academia and business to examine how and why trust is disappearing\, and how we might navigate these confusing times.From expert minds in business\, science and law enforcement the book explains how to maintain trust and how easily it can be broken\, and leaders on the front line of technological development describe the influence of bots\, conspiracy theories and generative AI.If we are to address the big issues facing our world\, then we must have trust\, because without it we have no sense of shared reality. Alone\, we can’t do it. Together\, we might. \nAbout the authorsTracey Kirkland is an Australian news journalist who has worked in broadcast and print for more than 30 years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE\nJoin a FREE\, guided exhibition tour by BRAG staff on Saturdays at 11am! \nFree\, all welcome\, RSVP online or at gallery reception. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE\, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW)\, guest curated by Tesha Malott. \nESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit\, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures\, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory\, large-scale installation\, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful\, 100% tactile landscape. \nESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape\, features\, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar\, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body\, you would be left with a mouth and an anus\, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit\, not just with food\, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides\, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability. \nA Verge Gallery exhibition\, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW\, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union. \nMore info \nImage: HOSSEI\, ESSSENSSSE\, 2023. Performer Lauren Booker. Dimensions variable. Photography by Jacquie Manning.

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK // Mystery of Missing Westerlies
DESCRIPTION:ARTIST TALK // Mystery of Missing Westerlies\nSaturday 12 July\, 11am \nHear from Ecological Gyre Theory’s Chantelle Mitchell (VIC) and Jaxon Waterhouse (NT) on BRAG Foyer Space Exhibition\, Mystery of Missing Westerlies\nPlease note: this event will be live streamed at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery.\nFREE\, all welcome\, RSVP essential \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents Mystery of Missing Westerlies by Chantelle Mitchell and Jaxon Waterhouse (Ecological Gyre Theory). \nMystery of Missing Westerlies is a body of work emerging in response to a news article from April 7\, 1950 which details “extraordinary weather”; a local manifestation of global atmospheric change\, being the disappearance of westerly winds across New South Wales in response to planetary changes sweeping the northern hemisphere. Working across installation\, video and intervention\, Mystery of Missing Westerlies considers pasts\, presents and futures in an interconnected planetary atmospheric frame. \nThe disappearance of the westerly winds is itself both a historical anomaly and a planetary omen. We treat this climatic rupture as an atmospheric case file\, a study in atmospheric disappearance\, inviting consideration of the interplay between absence\, evidence\, and the forces shaping our world. Here\, wind becomes both subject and metaphor—an invisible actor whose movements carry sediments\, shape deserts\, and drive oceanic currents\, but also a narrative force whose disappearance tells of shifting global patterns. Embedded within this body of work are material traces of evidence and investigation\, material clues in a wider investigation of climate\, memory\, and time.

But behind the sirens\, and the life-or-death scenes\, and the absurdity of non-urgent callouts\, a paramedic’s career is very different to how most people imagine it.\nBased on years of meticulously kept journals\, Frog is an intimate look at the human cost of the job and the cumulative effect of trauma.\n\nCopies of the book will be for sale on the night.\n\nAbout the author\nSally Gould has been a paramedic for fourteen years and counting\, and still finds joy in her self-proclaimed dream job. The professional and personal growth she experienced on the frontline\, and the journals she kept during her early years in the field\, were the inspiration for her memoir Frog.\nHer draft manuscript won the narrative non-fiction category in the 2023 ASA/CA Award Mentorship Program.\nWhen she’s not in uniform\, Sally can be found tutoring paramedic students or immersed in her writing. She spends the rest of her days off nurturing herself through running\, bushwalking\, baking\, attending theatre\, and spending time with family and friends. Sally lives in Sydney with her husband and their two children.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE \nJoin a FREE\, guided exhibition tour by BRAG staff on Saturdays at 11am!\nFree\, all welcome\, RSVP online or at gallery reception. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE\, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW)\, guest curated by Tesha Malott. \nESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit\, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures\, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory\, large-scale installation\, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful\, 100% tactile landscape. \nESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape\, features\, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar\, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body\, you would be left with a mouth and an anus\, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit\, not just with food\, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides\, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability. \nA Verge Gallery exhibition\, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW\, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union. \nImage: HOSSEI\, ESSSENSSSE\, 2023. Performer Lauren Booker. Dimensions variable. Photography by Jacquie Manning.
