Lifestyle Overnight with David Prior

Culture Up Late


Listen Later

David Prior talks to Matt Ravier, the Program Manager from the Australian Museum 
From Jan 24 to Mar 14, the Australian Museum (AM) will be brought to life at night with Culture Up Late, a summer-long season of virtual reality shows, hands-on workshops, live music, special tours, performances and protest.
Over eight Wednesday nights, the nation’s first museum will be turned inside out in celebration of First Nations, Mardi Gras, science, art, the environment and love. Culture Up Late will see a dozen artists, scientists and performers transform the AM for adults into an interactive space for the curious of heart and mind. 
In the lead up to Australia Day, the first event will take place on Jan 24 and has been curated by First Nations staff. It’s called We Stand Strong (Ngalu Warrawi Marri in Gadigal language). The evening will celebrate First Nations protest and resilience, and interrogates the ways that Australia celebrates national identity. There will be deadly-designed jewellery workshops, a live DJ playing ‘decolonisation beats’, Change the Date VR rap video, and much more.
