We Change the World explores the many ways that artists and designers can provoke change through their work. Musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) curate and perform a program of music inspired by the exhibition.

Highlighting the importance of creative minds, philosophical thought and vision, and the effect these have on society and our own personal mindsets this concert, curated by Nathan Gatenby and Alex Meagher, considers how the spread of ideas brings awareness to our perspective of the world, equality and human rights, generating positive societal change.

To conclude, audiences are invited to participate in an improvised performance that celebrates the unique ways everyday items can be re-purposed as instruments, allowing each individual to consider how their actions can impact the world around them.
