‘Misinformation is like a virus,’ according to Rose Hiscock, Director of the University of Melbroune’s recently opened Science Gallery. She was using her lecture ‘Why we need to tear down the borders between science, design and art in a post-COVID world’ delivered at the State Library of Victoria to highlight the raging conspiracies around COVID-19.
‘You may not think of the cultural sector as a primary myth buster or source of truth for health facts, however, the experiences of the last 18 months demonstrate how arts, sciences, and the creative sector can come together to inspire us to tackle mistruths and greater challenges,’ Hiscock continued.
