Final Visions (2018)

Field Theory are preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best, and when it all goes down they want to be ready. Treating ACCA as an inner city survival bunker, the collective stocked and skilled up for the duration of the Greater Together Exhibition. A section of the gallery was converted into a Melbourne-centric survivalist storeroom and every second Saturday Field Theory hosted a program of live interviews and workshops with a selection of Melbourne’s special interest clubs. They asked groups like the Anarchist Club, Oz Preppers, the Yarn Spinners, the Foragers and the Rock Climbers, what’s going to happen, what do we need, and are we really Greater Together?

In a time of major geopolitical change where anxiety pervades many dimensions of our lives, we saw hope in the diverse array of associations and societies that continue to function as social glue. They are rich sources of exchange where passions are explored, skills developed and important questions are raised.
