Design the World You Want

The NGV's Melbourne Design Week opens this week and this year explores the theme of 'Design the World You Want'. As part of Design Week, we're hosting Ellen McKenna's Feeling Colours Exhibition , which looks at the role colour plays in our homes and moods. With this curation, we're looking to how Bluethumb's broader community of artists are envisioning the future they wish to see.

Four men (members of Parliament) are discussing Environmental problems. They are listening to the speaker disinterested and bored because this topic has been discussed year after year. Looks like an ordinary Parliament meeting except one thing.... The meeting room is slowly filling with water. It is actually not a room, it is an ocean with water level rising because of climate warming. We can see little icebergs floating around the table and also lots of papers on the water (climate change documents).  But members of Parliament don't see it yet, don't feel water under their feet. Still discussing. One of them is trying to reach a piece of paper floating away.
