MCA Artbar: Tomorrow – 20 Minutes Into the Future

Overview

It's time to experience one of Sydney's most popular museums on a new level. The Museum of Contemporary Art's late-night takeover Artbar is returning on Friday, May 17, with a program of artworks, performances and activations.

This time, the event is curated by Western Sydney local, 24th Biennale of Sydney artist and punk metal musician Serwah Attafuah. She's planning to transform the museum into "a cyber dreamscape of technological nostalgia" and invites guests into a world that is just outside of our grasp.

Knowing past editions of MCA Artbar, the possibilities of what could unfold under that notion are bordering on limitless. It's not just one mind behind the evening, as Attafuah will be joined by a lineup of local and international talent, including London-based futurist rapper Llainwire, Australian music/visual artist group DeepFaith and First Nations metal band Dispossessed.

MCA Artbar: Tomorrow is an 18+ event, taking place on Friday, May 17 from 7–11pm. For more information or to get tickets, visit the website.
