Being Human Festival

Crossroads: a meeting place of convergence and divergence. We are at a time of pivotal change, as the international order faces restructuring, while democratic institutions are being tested and reimagined.

The Faculty of Arts is delighted to once again serve as an international hub for the UK’s Being Human Festival, presenting a packed program of events that brings Australian humanities research to life in imaginative and engaging ways.

Immerse yourself in a pop-up art community from the 1940s, come along to a masterclass in HOPE, find out if a prison can inspire poetry, lose yourself in literary translation or experience multicultural Melbourne. Together, history, technology, and imagination invite us to connect through humanities research.

Meet at the liminal place of decision and change, where society faces the choices of our time – meet at the Crossroads.

Supported by the Melbourne Public Humanities Initiative.
