Chris Herzfeld's Superheroes: Toxic Debris
Date/Time: Thursday, 28 July 2016 - Monday, 31 October 2016
Location: Level 3, The Hub
Cost: Free
More information: Visit website
A sequel to Superheroes: Golden Vengeance, this photographic comic strip by Chris Herzfeld is on display on level 3 Hub until 31 October 2016 during Barr Smith Library hours.
Superheroes: Golden Vengeance and its sequel Superheroes: Toxic Debris are Parallax Graphic collaborations and form a collection focused on heroes.
The work analogises good vs evil and the archetype of heroes, and brings to the fore the daily bombardment of imagery and the interplay between sacred stories and crass consumerism in modern culture.

From America, England, Europe and even Antarctica, many of the books held in Special Collections have travelled far and wide to get here.
This exhibition showcases just how far some of these books have come, based on the inscriptions and bookplates found inside their covers.
This exhibition is both physical and virtual. By visiting https://goo.gl/wvbbdq you can explore the map of all the books featured in the exhibition and many more.

We feel better after a good nights sleep, feeling more alert, rested and functional. Sleep plays a vital restorative function which is important for many facets of the human body, and is extremely important in children and adolescents for achieving life-long health. However, not all of us sleep well and extended periods of disrupted sleep may have long term effects on growth and development.
Hosted by the Robinson Research Institute and Healthy Development Adelaide, attendees will hear from four experts on varying aspects of healthy sleeping in the early years, during pregnancy and in adolescence...and why good sleep matters!
Prof David Kennaway: Sleep, melatonin and children
Dr Tamara Varcoe: Does working shifts during pregnancy impact upon the developing baby?
Dr Mark Kohler: The impact of sleep on daytime psychological performance in children
Kate Bartel: Protective and risk factors for adolescent sleep
