7pm - SLOW DOWN Tour

Slow down with artist Zoe Butters for an interactive tour of the 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Yield Strength to explore art and materiality in a new way.

This is not your standard Gallery tour. On a Slow Down tour participants will have an opportunity to engage with works in new ways, slowly. From sensory walks to exploring tactile objects, you will learn about a small selection of Biennial artists, key themes and ideas with a focus on the senses and materiality.
