2023 Exhibition

Celebrating the beauty of life-changing medical research

Art of Science is an annual competition and exhibition of still and moving images captured by WEHI scientists during their research into cancer, infection and immunity and healthy development and ageing.

Founded in 1997 by former WEHI director Professor Suzanne Cory, the competition is open to all WEHI staff and students.

Liam Mannix, a multi-award-winning national science reporter from The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, is this year’s Art of Science guest judge.

2023 Guest Judge and Soundscape Collaboration

The Art of Science guest judge this year is Liam Mannix, multi-award-winning national science reporter from The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. An accomplished writer, Mannix won the 2020 Walkley Award for Short Feature Writing and the 2019 Eureka Prize for Science Journalism.

Building upon WEHI’s successful collaboration with the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne last year, and the overwhelmingly positive response received, we are delighted to announce our renewed partnership in 2023.

This year’s collaboration is taking things to the next artistic level, with students composing a unique soundscape for each of the seven moving images.
