Nocturnal: Earthshattering

From profound encounters with the supernatural and the natural world, to the everyday tremors of grief, love and the erotic, each realm of life has the potential to earth-shatter. Words and sounds are the mediums we turn to, to channel these transformative events. Hear stories and tributes to experiences that rooted these artists to the earth or led them to transcend it, presented as part of Nocturnal, Melbourne Museum’s monthly adults-only invite Nocturnal.

Presented in partnership with Melbourne Museum.

Please note: The full exhibition runs from 6PM to 9PM, with EWF artists featuring from 8:15PM.
