Library Up Late x RISING

Library Up Late returns for RISING, transforming into your after-dark playground dedicated to the act of artistic creation. Witness the iconic Dome transform into a mesmerising Sonic Temple as Cloudy Ku and Solar Cells and the New Vision System take over the space with shimmering soundscapes. 
The Ian Potter Queen’s Hall will be reimagined as a concert hall for the evening with a stunning performance by Monica Lim, blending traditional art forms with cutting-edge technology, and the exciting return of Concordis Chamber Choir led by Music Director Philippa Jones, with accompanist Cassandra Cordero. 
DJ JNETT will kick off The Quad’s dancefloor with a synth-soaked Italo Disco set, before Elbain takes over with dynamic electro and Y2K-inspired beats. 
Join artists Barry William Hale, Bundit Puangthong, Dr Chandrabhanu and Dr Deanne Gilson in conversation at Redmond Barry Reading Room and celebrate the end of Creative Acts. An unmissable opportunity to delve into the creative process behind their commissioned artwork on display. 
Become a wordsmith in Cowen Gallery as you craft your own poem or letter, prompted by letters from the Library’s collection and inspired by very space where an unsent and unclaimed love letter was found behind a painting, now on display in Rebel Heart.
