Enlighten Live

Open your ears, sing your song and step into the future at our special Enlighten event celebrating Joan Ross’s commission Collector’s Paradise.

For the 2021 Enlighten Festival, Ross has created a vivid animation that transforms the Gallery’s façade and asks us to think about museums as places that keep, acquire, and classify objects.

In Ross’ vast work of art, a fluorescent moth with flapping wings unleashes chaos. Vitrines smash, specimens escape, and the museum tumbles down.

For one night only, participate in a range of activities along Parkes Place East inspired by Collector’s Paradise. Cash bar and food will be available.

Numbers are strictly limited due to COVID-19 and registration is essential. Ticket holders will be required to use the Check In CBR app prior to entry.

Tickets are available until 5pm Friday 5 March. Event will proceed in windy or wet weather.

Joan Ross: Collector's Paradise is a Know My Name project presented as part of the 2021 Enlighten Festival.
