About the exhibition
Marking twenty‑five years of interdisciplinary research and public engagement, this special anniversary exhibition reflects on how collaboration and knowledge‑making operate across and beyond the academic community.
Under the anniversary theme Knowledge in a Fractured World, the exhibition forms part of a wider programme exploring how knowledge is produced, contested, and translated into action amid political polarisation, technological disruption, environmental crisis, and shifting global power relations. Bringing together scholars, artists, activists, and practitioners, we ask what happens to knowledge in such conditions, and how it may serve either to entrench divisions or to imagine more just futures and enable new forms of solidarity and action.
The exhibition showcases examples of interdisciplinary research from across CRASSH alongside an eclectic selection of works by international artists responding to the theme, with contributions ranging from global challenges to intimate personal narratives.
