The Studio: Time Capsule

Join us in The Studio to create a time capsule inspired by artist Charlie Sofo featured in the 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Yield Strength.

Visitors are invited to engage with the material world by creating arrangements of objects, words, drawings or small items brought from home. It could be a record of a day in your life or a reflection on the things that matter most to you – encapsulating your own universe in a time capsule.

Each capsule can be sealed and taken home as a keepsake or left behind for others to discover, creating an evolving archive of shared experiences and private worlds.

Born and based in Melbourne, Sofo is known for working with what is at hand – ordinary objects and simple actions – often arranged as drawing, sculpture, video, text, performance and installation. His practice explores memory, materiality and meaning, deeply rooted in everyday life.
