Off the beaten path

Location: 156 Victoria St

Property partner: Willis Bond

Dates: May 9th - 12th 2025

Off the Beaten Path is an immersive exhibition that invites visitors to explore the concept of play through our sensors. Interactive installations encourage participants to engage with each sense in playful, unexpected ways—whether through tactile textures, scent-based recollection, soundscapes, or physical engagement.

The exhibition highlights how play fosters creativity and connection, demonstrating how our senses shape and elevate the way we ‘play’.

By collaborating with the way humans experience our natural world, this exhibition transports the viewer into another realm. It is an abstract study of the human mind that distorts one's perception of their living environment.

Featuring workshops to learn about the history of camera obscura’s and get hands-on creating ‘a room sized camera’. As well the history of cyanotype, creating your very own cyanotype print, both with exhibiting artist Taeya Nichols & curator Sarah Dunn.
