Transformation: Mardi Gras to the cosmos with Powerhouse
When
Friday 14 February from 11am to 12pm
Join Powerhouse Volunteers for an engaging exploration of change through culture and festivals.
This talk highlights objects from the Powerhouse Collection connected to Sydney’s Mardi Gras, celebrating inclusivity, identity, ingenuity and the power of cultural expression. We’ll also explore how these objects reflect broader transformative events, which shape our world across time and tradition.
