Plausible Playground is a living laboratory of artistic exploration - an immersive exhibition where contemporary art meets the analytical gaze of the museum, all set within the intellectual heart of campus: the Waranara Library. Here, amidst shelves of accumulated knowledge, art becomes an open inquiry—blurring the lines between observation, imagination, and experimentation. Structured with the precision of a scientific experiment and the unpredictability of artistic play, Plausible Playground offers a unique synthesis of disciplines. The title hints at this dual nature: a space that is both speculative and grounded, playful yet plausible. Photography and video act as instruments of temporal observation, capturing the fleeting phenomena of memory, motion, and change.

The exhibition space is open Monday to Friday from 10am until 5pm and entry is free.
