Time to Live
Carriageworks is honoured to present “Time to Live,” a powerful and moving living artwork that invites visitors to engage with the precious remaining time of a woman with terminal cancer.
‘Time to Live,’ is an artwork allowing you to share a three-minute encounter with Emily, a 31-year-old battling NUT Carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. This brief yet powerful moment, marked by a countdown timer, offers a profound connection to the emotional realities of living with a terminal illness.
Presented by the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) on their 40th anniversary, this exhibition emphasises their dedication to supporting innovative cancer research. With cancer being a major cause of death in Australia, this campaign highlights ACRF’s mission to fund essential research for all cancer types, including rare cancers.

While access to innovative treatments has given Emily three unexpected years of life, the cancer has metastasised to her brain, with doctors not knowing how long she has left. Emily believes she is the longest known survivor of anyone who has undertaken her specific treatment.
The Australian Cancer Research Foundation funds research into all types of cancer by providing privately funded grants of between $1 million and $10 million for technology, equipment, and infrastructure. Over 40 years, ACRF has awarded over $184 million to 44 research institutes for the development of ground-breaking advancements in cancer research and treatments.

The exhibition is a bold initiative by the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF), who this year celebrates its milestone 40th anniversary of funding innovative cancer research. As a leading cause of death in Australia, cancer claims 135 lives and causes 444 new diagnoses daily.
This campaign underscores ACRF’s mission to support scientific research across all types of cancers, including rare cancers, ensuring that the most promising research across Australia receives the necessary funding.
