Step inside the world of Melbourne Fringe and experience 40 years of our history (plus 40 imagined years still to come) as told by the artists, directors and supporters that helped make it happen.
The Rest Is Up To You is an interactive exhibition at State Library Victoria that turns the space on its head, and invites you to discover where Melbourne Fringe has been and what Melbourne Fringe has done through the myriad artforms that we play host to.
Immerse yourself in this beautifully designed sound and video installation filled with a cacophony of voices telling tales from Fringe’s past and present as you reflect on the artworks created, the social changes traversed, and the political movements woven into the fabric of our Festival.
Watch Melbourne Fringe in action as a performance space brings the exhibition to life with a program of events including shows, performance lectures, talks and panel discussions that explore not just who we have been, but who we might aspire to be in the future. Then tune in to our fascinating podcast series to hear the untold stories of Fringe from some of our brightest alumni (think Maxine Briggs, Patricia Cornelius, Rove McManus, Lou Wall and heaps more). Plus you can get a blow-by-blow account of the history of Fringe from go to woah by downloading our free e-book written by John Bailey.
The Rest Is Up To You: Melbourne Fringe Festival 1982-2062 is a once-in-a-generation invitation to journey through the last 40 years of Fringe history so that we can start dreaming up the next 40.
