About the Event
Stephen Mushin's debut book Ultrawild is part-graphic novel, part-blueprint that brings together plausible science, sustainable ethics and hope – all in one visual spectacle. Stephen will speak about the years he’s spent bringing this project to life, and how we might use science and storytelling to imagine a new reality.

This event will be livestreamed on this page from 12.30pm on Wednesday 7 February 2024.
Presented in partnership with the Victorian Association for the Teaching of English
Lunch Orders
In 2024, grab a bite with The Wheeler Centre as we serve up Lunch Orders: half-hour conversations that can be livestreamed into any classroom or library, and accessed as a recording from the following week.
While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind with this series of fascinating deep dives into the future as our experts respond to our Term 1 Lunch Orders provocation: What does the future hold?
Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox where our expert will deliver their response. They will then be joined by the Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, who will facilitate a 20-minute Q&A that students can participate in via Slido.
Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, with a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
Featuring
Stephen Mushin
Steve Mushin is an industrial designer, artist and inventor who collaborates with scientists and engineers to solve perplexing problems that no one else seems to know what to do about - like what can be done with explosive cow gas or how to make bikes fly or cities transform into jungles as fast as possible. Steve has exhibited large-scale design drawings and models around Australia and in Japan. He works between Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and in 2015 received an Australian Design Honours award for his work in sustainable futures thinking. Ultrawild is Steve's first book.
