Pushing the limits of your mind and creativity!

Photography offers us a glimpse into another’s consciousness, captures what is invisible to the naked eye, and helps investigate the shadows of the human mind. We, along with Science Gallery Melbourne, invited young audiences to visually represent their mental landscape as they live through these unpredictable times.

The submissions were shortlisted by photographer Sharbendu De and researcher Jasmine Pfefferkorn.

Despite the amorphous nature of the psyche, writers and performers have tried to distil its inner workings in epics, plays, poems and novels. In the run up to PSYCHE, we invited young adults to submit their own responses to our creative writing prompts. Here you will find a selection from the submissions shortlisted by writer Anmol Tikoo.
