Library Up Late x Make Believe

  • Nightlife
  • Exhibition

Party late into the night at the Library with an evening of dancing, art and discussions after dark.

Wander through the Library’s Dome and heritage spaces as you uncover interactive experiences, installations and performances from artists and musicians, before you dance the night away to some of Melbourne’s best DJs.

Enjoy exclusive after-hours access to the Library’s newest exhibition, Make Believe: Encounters with Misinformation. Hear directly from the exhibition’s curators, discovering historic examples of misinformation and disinformation alongside contemporary responses from artists and industry experts.

Drop into a late-night talk show exposé that dives deeper into the topics covered in Make Believe, as the Library brings together a range of leading figures to tackle this widespread and challenging issue of our time.

Explore the Library after dark as Library Up Late returns for RISING.

Book your tickets now. This event is for people aged 18 and over.
