Puzzling, joyous, surprising, fun - even a "a little bit icky": checking out a MOD. exhibition* - physically or virtually - is guaranteed to illicit some sort of emotional response and hopefully inspire inquiring minds to discover more.
Sitting at the intersection of science and art, the University of South Australia's Museum of Discovery is led by futurist Dr Kristin Alford. A 'Big Picture thinker', Kristin's interests lie in building people's capability to navigate the future and inspiring them to play a role in shaping it.
In this episode, Kristin explains MOD's approach to presenting its exhibitions to encompass both western and Aboriginal ways of thinking and, as the world slowly emerges from under COVID-19's cloak of uncertainty, how now is an opportune time to reflect on old systems and processes, and start re-imagining the future we want to move towards.
