About this Event
Presented as part of Vivid Sydney 2026.
The Great Barrier Reef’s demise is widely seen as a foregone conclusion – but is that framing limiting our imagination of what comes next?
Combatting despair, Beyond The Bleach considers how we can best look after the Great Barrier Reef, incorporating Indigenous knowledge of the seas alongside Camp’s leading research of coral reef recovery, and how art and storytelling like Robinson’s can shift perspectives.
After the panel, stay for the Sea Citizens After Party – a chance to connect with the panellists and other ocean advocates, with drinks and hands-on activities.

Emily Jateff, museum curator of Ocean Futures will moderate a conversation between panellists:
- Emma Camp - Marine Biologist
- Brian Robinson - Torres Strait Artist
- More to be announced soon!
