Burrinja Climate Change Biennale presents

Burrinja Climate Change Biennale Award Exhibition 

Sat 3 Dec, 2022 - 25 Feb, 2023 | Burrinja Gallery

Global in nature, national in scope and local in action, the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale provides a platform to address one of the most pressing topics of our time.

Uniquely situated in the temperate rainforest micro-climate of the Dandenong Ranges on Melbourne’s eastern fringes, its location offers the perfect backdrop for local and global community knowledge networks to share, learn and expand through the Biennale’s wide-ranging public program and macro-themes.

At the centre of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale is its Award Exhibition, which provides a space for artists to engage creatively and imaginatively with aspects of climate change. The exhibition invites and encourages the collaboration of science and arts, of critical thought and creative practise.
