One of our favourite nights of the year returns.

On 20 June, Brody House once again opens its doors for a midsummer evening of art, music, cocktails, and curious encounters as part of Night of Museums.

Wander through Michael Pettet's new exhibition, The Flood Tablet: Fragments of Conflict and Survival, and immerse yourself in an evening of art, conversation, music, and discovery in the unique atmosphere of the Brody House Art Bunker.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Drawing conceptual parallels between the ancient flood myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh and contemporary catastrophes—from warfare and nuclear disaster to the climate crisis—Michael Pettet's digital paintings create a fragmented visual narrative connecting ancient memory with present-day anxieties.

Through the series Dogs of War and Chernobyl Diaries, eerie landscapes populated by animalistic forms evoke worlds suspended between prehistory and a post-human future. Yet within these haunting scenes lies a sense of hope: that creativity and reflection, even in the aftermath of catastrophe, can offer the possibility of empathy, resilience, and renewal.
