RISING: EMERGENCE(Y) by Various, Melbourne, 2026

In a world of ecological collapse and rapid change, EMERGENCE(Y) brings together artists, scientists, and communities to explore adaptation as a creative and ethical act.

From stem cells to Martian winds, coral soundscapes to fungal fashion, Indigenous knowledge to vertical farms—the exhibition reveals how life adapts across all scales. It is a living ecosystem: a warning and an invitation to grow, listen, and act.

Science Gallery Melbourne partners with RISING to offer exclusive early access to EMERGENC(Y). Wander the gallery after hours, encounter bold new works at your own pace, and celebrate the opening weekend on Friday 5 June.
