Magnify the micro in this drop-in drawing activity with visual artist Briony Barr.

This event is part of a day of free programming exploring the future of stem cell research through art and science. Across the day, enjoy talks, collaborative drawing, gallery tours and the EMERGENC[Y] exhibition. Part of National Science Week.

You can also see Patricia Piccinini’s Células Madre, supported by the Melbourne arm of the transnational collaboration Hope Springs Eternal, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine, reNEW.
