Fantastical Sharks & Rays
The Australian Museum x Australian
Marine Conservation Society
Imagine stopping the silent extinction.
Australia is home to 25% of the world’s sharks & rays. Some are so rare & live so deep beneath the ocean that we have no images or research about them. So we are inviting Australian children bring these endangered species to life with the power of their imagination - they can use anything material they want…except AI.
The top artworks are being brought to life by 10 of Australia’s most iconic artists including Ken Done, Jenny Turpin, Janet Laurence, Reko Rennie, Jonathan Zawada, Rosie Deacon, Dion Horstmans and Blak Douglas in the Australian Museum.
From AI to CI - the power of Children’s Intelligence.
10 evocative descriptions of Australia’s most endangered sharks became stimulus for over 2000 entries.
10 of Australia’s most iconic artists.
The campaign has attracted some of our countries most esteemed artists including Ken Done, Jenny Turpin, Janet Laurence, Reko Rennie, Jonathan Zawada, Rosie Deacon, Dion Horstmans and Blak Douglas.
Artists have selected one artwork to use as inspiration for their own piece. Both will hang side by side in the Australian Museum this September.
