Next Wave Partnership

The New Student Precinct Project is collaborating with the artistic platform Next Wave to produce a series of public art installations, programming and mentorship initiatives.

Programming will provide students with the opportunity to work alongside artists to produce engaging site-specific creative works, learn from experts and connect across disciplines.

Next Wave will present new work that amplifies marginal voices, opens historical narratives and reimagines physical and intellectual learning environments. Embracing the transitional, forgotten and peripheral, the platform provides an opportunity for innovative thinking around the past, present and future of the site.

Programming initiatives will focus on participatory art making, engaging students, staff and the wider population on campus through a series of creative activations on building facades and hoardings, as well as sculptural and performative activations and interventions.

About Next Wave: Next Wave is Australia’s pre-eminent platform for emerging artists. Deeply rooted in the Australian arts ecology, Next Wave has a 33-year track record of pushing creative careers to the next level through renowned development programs and biennial multi-arts festival.
