# Event Details - **Event Name**: Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Dr Karelle Siellez is an astrophysicist, internationally recognized for her contributions to multi-messenger astrophysics.About this EventGravitational waves were first detected in 2017, a moment that Dr. Karelle Siellez describes poetically as a moment when “the Universe spoke in waves and light—ushering in a new era of astronomy”. In this lecture, Dr Siellez weaves together sound, art, and astrophysics to explore the story of gravitational waves and the collisions that create the elements we are made of. Through “multi-messenger” signals like kilonovae and gamma-ray bursts, we’ll uncover how the cosmos communicates its most violent events. Blending scientific insights with creative expression, this journey reveals how listening to the Universe—and protecting its silence—can connect science, nature, and humanity.Note: This event is proudly supported by the Australian Institute of Physics as part of the Marie Curie Lecture SeriesWe are living in a new era of both astronomy and space exploration. The 2026 July Lectures in Physics is a thought-provoking free lecture series where world-leading physicists bring engaging talks to the Melbourne public every Friday in July since 1968. This year marks 100 years since the first flight of a liquid-fuelled rocket by Robert Goddard, 40 years since the launch of the first Mars rover (Soujourner) and is the year we witnessed humans returning to the moon with the inspirational Artemis II mission. Our eminent speakers will be asking the big questions: Should humans colonise Mars, and how would we? What can Australian-made satellites tell us about our Universe? What role do local scientists play in space exploration? How has the discovery of gravitational waves changed astronomy? Join our line-up of eminent speakers to find out.Refreshments will be served after each lecture in the foyer of Sidney Myer Asia CentreWe are grateful for the support of the Laby Foundation for enabling this talk, which forms part of the wider programme of the Oxford XIII Cultural Astronomy School and the .Agenda?: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMPublic Lecture?: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PMReception in the foyer of Sidney Myer Asia Centre - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/parkville/painting-the-universe-a-visual-and-musical-exploration-of-space-time/100001989801648294 - **Event Categories**: art, live-music, fine-arts, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-07-24T07:40:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Carrillo Gantner Theatre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Parkville - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Carrillo Gantner Theatre - **lat**: -37.7991633 - **long**: 144.963859 - **full address**: Carrillo Gantner Theatre, Swanston Street, Parkville, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/8bef044fa8ed1edb01fa68b95fd05809a5cc91f7bbc8a694996bcbc33b92646f-rimg-w1200-h675-dc010202-gmir.jpg?v=1781071450 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time being held? - **A:** Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time takes place on Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Carrillo Gantner Theatre, Swanston Street, Parkville, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time? - **A:** Painting the Universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time is organized by School of Physics, University of Melbourne. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
