Themes and content

What and how might we be eating in 2050?
Our resources facilitate an interactive journey across four alternate future food scenarios adapted from the Australian Academy of Science: Growth, Restraint, Catastrophe and Transformation. Within the scenarios, themes including the water footprint of food, climate change and food systems, emerging food technology, native food and Aboriginal place names, edible insects and sustainable proteins. Workshops address a variety of learning areas from the Australian Curriculum 9.0 in Home Ec, HASS, Science, and Technologies, and address cross-curriculum priorities Sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures.

Our approach
Conversations around climate change often leave people dis-empowered and feeling anxious about the future. As artists, we have the ability to engage audiences with difficult issues in an accessible and empowering way, illuminating hopeful perspectives and pathways towards positive outcomes.
