EXPLORE THE INFINITE FOR A FRESH VIEW OF
THIS REALITY
Discover a collection of curiosities and artefacts: some shared across dimensions, others marking alternatively climatic, political, institutional, technological, natural and social evolutions. Each of them designed to empower you to engage with forgotten and pivotal histories and reframe what is possible.
Featuring artefacts and curiosities of all shapes, sizes and forms, this event is free and is a must for anyone with an interest in histories, social justice, climate change and fairer and democratic futures for all.

Content and Sensory Warning:
This exhibition contains complex themes and paradigm-altering experiences.
Recommended Reading:
As part of this experience, we have compiled a list of recommended reading materials written by thinkers who exist / have existed in our realities. These books will be available to flick through as part of this exhibition and we also invite you to take some time to explore them here. They each differ dramatically in theme, genre and scope but all offer pages of extraordinary, perspective-changing knowledges and exhilarating ideas (and provide insights into some of our approaches in curating this work).
The Parallel Effect acknowledges and pays respect to Traditional Custodians and Elders of all nations and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of all First Nations peoples.
