After Dark: Belonging
Join us for the 2023 edition of After Dark at the Justice & Police Museum. Guest speakers, artists, performers and filmmakers will delve into diverse subjects that shape our past, present and future.
This thought-provoking, adults-only experience will explore contemporary themes and bring to light historical cases, characters and issues. The program will feature talks, performances, interactive experiences, an onsite bar and after-hours access to the museum.
In honour of World Refugee Day on 20 June, this After Dark event explores what it means to belong in a multicultural society such as Australia. What constitutes being Australian, and how has the concept of identity and belonging changed over time? Who was, is and will be considered an outsider, and who is ‘allowed’ to belong? How do we build empathy, wellbeing and social cohesion among the diverse communities that make up our country? Join us for a discussion about belonging hosted by our curator, and enjoy interactive performances inspired by these critical questions.
After Dark is supported by Create NSW as part of Culture Up Late.
