To coincide with Global Climate Change Week, the School of Creative Arts and Media at the University of Tasmania invites you to a discussion and reconciling of a simple yet complex question: What’s Art got to do with climate change?

The evidence is clear. The world is rapidly changing. The climate is rapidly changing. Urgent action is needed. Collectively we are witnessing devastating fires, drought, loss of biodiversity and damaged ecosystems, rising sea levels and displaced people … The list is long. The issues faced are complex and contested. And no one is immune to this change.

Join academic staff members Martin Walch, Jan Hogan, Toby Juliff and Niklavs Rubenis as they present case studies of their individual practices and how their work negotiates concerns of a changing climate and the conundrums of a world under rapid transformation.

This is an online event open to the general public.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Outrageous, witty, warm and wise, Killing Time shares more than forty yarns reflecting an epic life – from an encounter with a soul legend in Memphis, a night in a haunted studio in upstate New York, and a doomed haircut in Thailand to a madcap misunderstanding in a Japanese ski resort, a family feud on a remote coral atoll, and an all-too-revealing appearance for a Sydney charity.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Jimmy Barnes is a Scottish-born rock singer-songwriter who grew up in Adelaide. His career, both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist of the legendary band Cold Chisel, has made him one of the most successful and distinctive artists in Australian music history. A prolific songwriter and performer, Jimmy has been a storyteller for more than forty years, sharing his life and passions with Australians of all ages at over ten thousand gigs throughout his adopted homeland. In the process, he has amassed more number one albums in Australia than The Beatles: five with Cold Chisel and twelve as a solo artist, including the iconic For the Working Class Man. Across his career Jimmy has sold over 12 million albums and he has been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame twice. Jimmy’s childhood memoir, Working Class Boy, became a number one bestseller and won the Australian Book Industry Award (ABIA) for Biography of the Year in 2017. His sequel, Working Class Man, won him a second ABIA for Biography of the Year in 2018. He is the only author to win back-to-back ABIAs for a non-fiction title. Having sold more than 500,000 copies, the books have become Australian classics and established Jimmy as one of our finest storytellers. The Stories & Songs live production, based on the memoirs, sold out more than a hundred shows, attracted unanimous critical acclaim and inspired the documentary film Working Class Boy, which topped the box office in late 2018. Jimmy lives in New South Wales, with his wife, Jane.

The fourth industrial revolution is upon us: the increasing uptake of robotics and AI in many parts of our life. In some cases robots are replacing the work of humans but in others researchers are exploring ways that they complement and enhance our existence. 

In the last Experimenta Social event of the year, we will hear from two artists who are ahead of this transformational curve having worked with robotics and AI in their artistic practices for many decades. Art is about communicating ideas, and these artists do groundbreaking work in the social robotics field; a branch of robotics research that emerged in the 1990’s and focuses on robotic systems that explicitly engage on a social level. 

Through their interdisciplinary practice, Louis-Philippe Demers and Mari Velonaki bring a deep  questioning approach to the rapid technological changes we are experiencing. Join us as we discuss robots as art – the promise and pitfalls of a world driven by robotics and AI.

In 2017/18 Judith Lucy and Denise Scott toured their smash hit show ‘Disappointments’ to every capital city and regional centre in Australia selling more than 70,000 tickets.

The premise of the show was that their lives were perfect but the reality was that this was bullshit and both had taken to their beds because of personal and professional setbacks. Scotty and Jude sensed that talking about their mediocre lives and shattered dreams might strike a chord with the public and they were right! People loved embracing not just the comedians’ regrets but their own! Failure had never been this much fun!

Now thanks to the unravelling of the arts sector and, indeed, the planet due to COVID- 19 they feel the time is right for ‘Disappointments’, the zoom-cast! Before the pandemic it was just Scotty and Jude who’d taken to their beds to fall into a pit of self-loathing but thanks to isolation, the whole world has been forced to do the same thing. Talk about writing itself!

Join Scotty and Jude as they talk about NEW disappointments every Sunday at 5pm. Pour a wine or pop on the kettle and be part of this live event from the comfort of your lounge room. There will be chances to write in, zoom in and be part of a weekly virtual happening that promises to be at least as disappointing as the miserable bin fire that is humanity.

There will be 8 episodes of the Disappointments zoom-cast, with the first one airing on Sunday 2 August 5pm. You can purchase tickets episode to episode or watch all episodes with a Disappointments Season Pass.

Who knows when you’ll get to see these two in a theatre again so why not enjoy their desperation and this thinly veiled cry for help in the comfort of your own living room? Judith and Denise really can’t wait to disappoint you all over again!

TICKET PRICES

Disappointments Season Pass ($100) – If you’ d like a season pass to watch all 7 remaining episodes of Disappointments this is the ticket for you. With a season pass you can view all episodes with any group size you like within your household.

You’ll be sent a unique link to view each episode on the day it’s scheduled to air.

This weekly event is for ukulele beginners who want to strum and sing in a relaxed and informal group setting. If you are new to musical instruments, this is a perfect opportunity to learn some practical skills quickly and in a supportive environment. We meet weekly so do check our website for the “Theme of the Week” and for any last-minute updates. Please note that there are usually no sessions during school holidays.

Typically, there are over 25 people at every session, and about one fifth are beginners. If you are a complete beginner, the most important part of the session is the first 20 minutes where I go through some basics.  The session is free-of-charge, but there is a donation box if you want to contribute to our operational expenses. Thank you and hope to see you one day!

“Mine the Gap”, will be hosted by the Australian Osteoarthritis Summit and NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence and Program grants (1091302 and 1079078 respectively). The workshop is scheduled to take place over the 14th and 15th of October online through the Zoom Conference App.

This workshop aims to:

i) explore existing translation gaps between basic and clinical researchers and clinicians, and

ii) identify strategies to overcome these gaps through the recognition of professional similarities and opportunities, while understanding cultural (research and clinical) differences.

The workshop will be delivered in thematic sessions with presentations by leaders covering basic science, clinical science, clinician and consumer perspectives. During these interactive sessions, basic scientists, clinical researchers clinicians and consumers will work together to facilitate breaking down any communication barriers.

Themes will include:

• Preclinical models/phenotypes with the counterpoint being human disease/phenotypes with consideration of the clinical/clinician interface

• Measurement of pain in preclinical models versus patient-reported outcome measures/measures of pain in humans.

• Biological measurements (animal or human) to clinical application

• Laboratory biomechanics (animal or human) to clinical application of biomechanics

• Musculoskeletal imaging in animals versus humans versus clinical

Please note – The Mindfulness Challenge is not a full day commitment each day – but rather just 15 minutes of your day, a time that works for you. It will all take place on a private facebook group.

Designed to help you work on ‘project you’, Sabina will help steer you to live a more productive and less overwhelmed life during the uncertainty of COVID19.

Mindfulness simply means to be present in the moment – in your thoughts, actions and behaviours and has been scientifically proven to have HUGE benefits for your wellbeing.

Receive daily challenges direct to the private facebook group to start you on your journey. Each challenge can easily slip into a pocket of your day – taking a maximum of 15 minutes.

Are you…?

• A professional now working from home who might be struggling with isolation or change at work?
• Concerned about the stresses of job loss, team changes or financial worries?
• A stay at home parent now homeschooling who is keen to take some time for themselves?
• Self-isolating and starting to feel the disconnect?

Anyone welcome!

By signing up to this challenge, we’ll also invite you to join our ‘Five-day Mindfulness’ Facebook private community to connect and engage with Sabina and like minded individuals.

The challenge can be completed at your leisure each day but you’ll receive the daily challenge within the private facebook group at 7am. (AEST)

Even after your 5-day challenge, Sabina will continue to support you via Facebook and LinkedIn.

Look forward to seeing you virtually soon!
