Alien-like, but actually Tasmanian home-grown. Karlin Love and Suzy Turner will play the Mountain Harp and compatible instruments such as electric violin, clarinet, and gongs. Sarah Lloyd will introduce the wonders of slime moulds and provide some clues about what we’ll be seeing. Meanwhile watch creative alchemy as musician and visual artist respond in real-time.

Class and workshop

Hive presents a day of wonder, looking outwards to decode the universe. The day begins at Hive with an all-ages planetarium show at 11am, followed by a free public talk ‘who cares about space weather'. As the Dial Range falls into the evening shadow, we gather at Mt Gnomon Farm for an indoor astronomy talk and weather permitting, stargazing through telescopes provided.
