Museums Victoria is the Major Partner, Official Precinct Partner and Foundation Partner for Melbourne’s newest festival Now or Never. The Melbourne Museum Plaza bursts into life for Now or Never with a tantalising whole-of-precinct program fusing art, ideas, sound and technology. You’ll be lured into a world of curiosity, wonder and discovery with a celebration of National Science Week, a &#8220;Melbourne Planetarium Presents&#8221; program in the Neversphere, a special Future Forums edition, and unique exhibitions and events as part of the inaugural festival. The World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building will also fling back its doors, filling the magnificent space with a program of nighttime dance, RnB, hip hop and clubbing. While on site, make sure you also visit the fabulous Fantastic Beasts™: The Wonder of Nature exhibition on at Melbourne Museum, direct from the National History Museum in London and other great exhibitions on during this time.

Founded in 2010 in Melbourne by brothers Josh and Jake Uljans and school mate Karl van Buuren, Moon Dog began with a lil’ brewery in the back streets of Abbotsford, with the trio brewing beer in a brew house welded together from ex-dairy equipment and selling mind-blowing craft beer from the back of a ‘97 Volvo V40 station wagon.
More than a decade later, we’ve made some upgrades to the equipment, we’ve expanded our brewery into Preston, we’ve opened two brew pubs and our Moon Dog family has grown and grown, but one thing has stayed the same-brewing outrageously delicious beers and seltzers that blow minds is what it’s all about!

How do we create more equitable, caring and regenerative futures?
London-based social entrepreneur, architect, and visionary thinker Indy Johar of Dark Matter Labs presents a keynote address to launch the Planetary Civics Initiative at RMIT. As we enter an age of long and interconnected emergencies, our world grapples with simultaneous challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics, antibiotic resistance, migration, AI, and human development. What we face is not merely a disruption; it’s a planetary-scale phenomenon.
This requires a shift in thinking and practices from the geopolitical to the planetary (the word ‘planetary’ is purposefully used as opposed to ‘world’ or ‘globe’). There is a level of mutual reliance and interdependence between humanity and the Earth’s living systems such as oceans, forests, rivers and glaciers &#8211; but also the city-regions and artificial intelligence systems that are rapidly being developed. Together we must effectively and compassionately face our shared futures.
Indy was recently awarded the London Design Medal for Innovation in 2022. Join this provocative public conversation on the strategic design of new super scale civic practices for deeply democratic futures.
<a href="https://www.rmit.edu.au/events/2023/august/wild-hope-planetary-commons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wild Hope: Conversations for a Planetary Commons</a>, an exhibition calling for a radical shift to ‘planetary thinking’ as vital to the survival of human and non-human life on Earth, at Design Hub Gallery 15 August–30 September.

This event has both sound and visual components, but sight isn’t essential to engage properly with the work.
