Join us for performances by Platform 2026 artists Seren Wagstaff and Dean Ansell.
Acting as a conductor in an experimental orchestra, Seren Wagstaff will lead musicians Cassandra Louttit and David Michael Thomas, alongside an ensemble of pulsing strings.
With Nadeem Tiafau Eshraghi, Dean Ansell will explore shared Oceanic genealogies, navigating Great Ocean histories in a performance that draws in objects and practices of Papua Niugini and Sāmoa. Viewers may get wet.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
