Within Deep Time is a curatorial research project with Swedish/Australian curators Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris and Nina Stromqvist.

Fictions, fossils, microbes and matter - the research connects art and artists that consider the geological strata and subterranean thinking, while attempting to unearth the invisible histories that lay beneath our feet.
