Research Scholars

Powerhouse offers annual programs to researchers interested in exploring the collection for the purposes of creative practice or academic research.

Each year the Powerhouse Scholars program develops new research through an annual open-call to academics, creative practitioners and independent researchers. Museum staff support scholars to produce innovative projects in dialogue with the Powerhouse Collection and Archives. Their work facilitates new lines of enquiry that expand perspectives on the museum, presented annually at the Powerhouse Scholars symposium. ​
