Melbourne Design Week | Tactile Dialogues: Fragments of Matter Exhibition
Tactile Dialogues: Fragments of Matter invites audiences to experience fragmentation as both material and concept. A space where new forms, partial views, and traces of thought become the starting point for dialogue, curiosity, and reflection.
The installation encourages mindful, embodied engagement asking audiences to listen, feel and observe. Through a choreography of touch, trace and transformation, Tactile Dialogues: Fragments of Matter investigates material temporality and proposes design as a living, unfinished practice.
Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of Creative Victoria, Supported by National Gallery of Victoria.

We're profoundly grateful to the talented makers who joined us on this journey, illuminating our space with their vision and passion. For a visual recap of the night, you can watch the video here:
Over the course of ten days, we welcomed nearly 2,000 visitors. The response from the design community was overwhelming, and we hope you left feeling as inspired as we did.
