Since mid-March 2025, a bloom of Karenia mikimotoi—a microscopic algae known for causing widespread ecological disruption—has contributed to large-scale fish and invertebrate die-offs on the South Australian coast. Triggered by a marine heatwave and prolonged calm sea conditions, the bloom has also raised public health concerns, with reports of respiratory and skin irritation. Despite expectations that winter winds and rainfall would disperse the bloom, recent reports suggest it is persisting.
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the science and broader implications of this unfolding environmental crisis, featuring:
Enya Chitty
PhD Candidate, Coastal Systems, Flinders University
Faith Coleman
Estuarine ecologist
Ian Gibbins
Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, Flinders University
Together, the panel will share insights and observations on the oceanographic and climatic factors driving the bloom, its ecological and physiological impacts, the nature of algal toxins, and the vital role of citizen science in monitoring and responding to harmful algal events.
Presented by Flinders University Museum of Art in association with the exhibition Crosscurrents, we encourage attendees to explore the artwork prior to the event.

What happens when yesterday’s revolutions are placed in the hands of tomorrow’s performers?
The Shock of the New in Adelaide is a curated anthology performance of scenes from pivotal productions in the history of South Australian theatre—works that shifted the cultural landscape, sparked conversation, or simply refused to play by the rules.
Performed by the graduating actors of the Bachelor of Performance (Honours), this dynamic collection traces the pulse of innovation through Adelaide’s theatrical past. From iconic breakthroughs to little-known provocations, the result is a vivid, shape-shifting evening of live performance—an archival excavation turned living, breathing theatre.
A collaborative performance guided by the Australian Creative Histories and Futures Artist in Residence, director Chris Drummond, and supported by the State Theatre Company of South Australia, The Shock of the New in Adelaide unfolds against a backdrop of striking digital imagery and bold performer-led interpretation.
Some plays began here. Others landed here and left a mark.
All of them helped reimagine what our theatre could be.
