Across every artform, Flight will dissect, discuss and deconstruct air travel, aviation, aerodynamics and the freedoms and perils that flight promises.

The exhibition is simultaneously celebratory and critical, excited about the return of flight yet concerned about its ongoing impact on the environment. This will be an opportunity to re-engage with flight in all its forms after this unprecedented break from it and to critically engage with the impact of the Western Sydney International Airport and surrounding redevelopments.

The program will run from January – June 2023 and has been developed in anticipation of the 2026 take-off of the Western Sydney International  Airport and the surrounding Aerotropolis.

He will literally play the air!
