Gut Feelings: Crafting gut–brain connections

17 Aug - 2 Sep 2025 10:00am - 4:00pm AEST Hazelhurst, 782 Kingsway, Gymea NSW 2227

Gut Feelings is a community project led by three Sydney artists that transforms science into soft sculpture, exploring how gut health shapes our mental well being. Microscopy Australia is thrilled that images from staff and users have both been included in the exhibition, and inspired some of the artworks. Thanks to Dr Peta Clode (UWA), Adam Humenick and Tim Hibberd (Flinders) for participating.
