Is it real or fake? It’s a question we ask all the time – when we scroll through social media, read the news or even chat with friends. Misinformation is everywhere.
But what fuels it? Why do we keep falling for it? And how do our own biases shape what we accept as true?
Make Believe: Encounters with Misinformation takes you on a journey and unpacks how misinformation has shaped life and culture.
From misleading medical drawings that influenced generations of doctors to the power of advertising in obscuring the environmental impact of our choices, this exhibition highlights the scale of the problem and invites us to examine our own role and how we can effect change.
This free exhibition is open daily. Visit today at State Library Victoria.
