As construction nears completion, the UNSW Health Translation Hub is coming to life— with a vibrant program of exhibitions and events planned to inspire, engage, and connect our community.
The ground floor of the UNSW Health Translation Hub (UNSW HTH) will soon host a dynamic mix of interactive displays, arts experiences, and thought-provoking conversations.
The inaugural UNSW HTH exhibition, Future of Health, invites visitors to explore some of the most pressing global health and societal challenges of our time. Through object-based and interactive displays, the exhibition will highlight how scientific discoveries are transformed into real-world therapies, treatments, and cures that directly impact patients’ lives.
“When curating the inaugural exhibition for the HTH, we wanted to pose the question: What will the future of health look like?” said Kerry Turnbull, HTH’s Exhibition Coordinator.
The exhibition will explore key themes such as:
Nearly 40 expressions of interest were received for the exhibition, featuring cross-disciplinary research and education initiatives which connect with audiences using objects and digital media. The opening events program will also include pop-up displays, hands-on activities, and opportunities for community engagement.
At the southern end of the HTH ground floor, a flexible event and showcase space—accommodating up to 120 people—will serve as a hub for public programs. Here, visitors can learn about the societal impact of UNSW’s research, education and health initiatives, and how the HTH community is shaping the future of care.
The HTH will feature artworks by First Nations artists from across Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. The works bring Indigenous knowledge to the centre of the HTH.
Through exhibition, art, digital storytelling, and open dialogue, the HTH aims to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the vital connections between science, medicine, life, and art. It will also form part of a broader focus on placemaking and art within the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct.
Set to open in late 2025, the HTH will bring together researchers, clinicians, educators, industry leaders, and public health experts to accelerate the translation of cutting-edge research into better health outcomes for all.
