BEAKER STREET FESTIVAL 2022
Is science really for everyone? In 2022 we took at deep dive into the cultural complexities of science, with discussions from the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, the Deaf community, and a musical exposé expressing the wishes of the dead. We also went north, with events exploring the science of stadiums, sparkling wine, and sauerkraut.

In 2021, Beaker Street Festival broke out of the COVID-19 lock down and hit the road. Our programming followed a similarly provocative theme, diving head-on into unfiltered discussions around climate change, sovereignty, and how to break bad news.
