This exhibition, located in the Youth Space, features a striking watercolour painting that reflects the local area's architectural evolution and personal history. The artwork integrates research from historical publications with materials sourced from the Australian coastline, offering a unique perspective on local heritage and gentrification. It will be complemented by a watercolour workshop for teens during the October School Holidays, designed to inspire and engage young people with local scenery and artistic techniques. Celebrate the intersection of history, art, and community with us at this special event!

Sci fight is a quarterly Science Comedy Debate where scientists and comedians come together to debate serious issues in a ridiculous manner.For a cheeky special occasion we're heading to Woollahra library at Doubly Bay! This round's topic: AI will save us The challenges facing humanity seem to only be getting more wicked; climate change, biodiversity loss, the re-emergence of jeggings. Have we reached a point where the problems are just too complex for humans to solve? Is AI our saviour? Able to systematically create solutions without being disrupted by such tawdry human flaws as getting hangry or needing a nap? Or is AI its own existential threat? Not only do we have a glut of images with the wrong numbers of fingers, artists out of work, record numbers of vaguely coherent Trump supporting bots. But we can’t see its workings when it cooks up an answer. Will AI save us? What happens when the singularity figures out the main obstacle to progress is…us? Come to Woollahra library at Double Bay and watch 6 very human scientists and comedians assess whether we’re on the brink of the AI-pocalypse or a UptopAI.

Join artists Jane Bodnaruk, Mel Booth, and Sue Jo Wright for a conversation about their work with textiles, embroidery and how these mediums have been appropriated as tools for activism, feminism, and challenging gender norms throughout history. Inspired by Rozsika Parker’s classic book The Subversive Stitch(1984), which redefined embroidery as a powerful feminist art form, this discussion will provide insights into how textiles have evolved from traditional crafts into dynamic expressions of social resistance. The conversation will be led by Billie Phillips, Assistant Curator at the Biennale of Sydney.
