The outlook for the future can seem bleak, the doomsday clock is currently set at 90 seconds to midnight and there does not seem to be a solution on the table. With this depressing forecast how do we find hope? In Get me out!, artists share ways of escape from our current reality - be that through protest, imagining a new future or completely checking out.
Across diverse practices proposals for new worlds, futurist inspired thinking and science fiction inspired realities will be presented. What possibilities are on the table if we can escape from the current state? Who would benefit and who gets left behind? Exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
