The Rest Is Up to You
Take a deep dive into the last 40 years of the Fringe Festival while looking forward at the next 40.
Overview
For forty years, Melbourne Fringe has celebrated artists from all walks of life — and successfully worked to democratise their work, increasing accessibility and visibility of the creative spheres. The Rest Is Up to You is a free exhibition currently on display at the State Library Victoria. It explores the previous 40 years of the Fringe Festival — how they started, how they changed and what fun was had — while looking forward at the next 40.
This immersive experience includes video and sound installations; archives of posters, flyers and artworks; and interactive talks and conversations with artists, teams and audiences that are excited to share their stories and inspire emerging talent. Running until July, this exhibition proves just how fundamental the people are to festivals like this — spotlighting how they've shaped Fringe and reminding us all that that everybody has a place here.
'The Rest Is Up to You' is on at the State Library of Victoria until Tuesday, July 11. Entry is between 10am and 6pm daily, and no bookings are required. For more information, head to the website.
