NightShaking is a creative collaboration using The Ingram Collection and contributions from contemporary artists Dr Chantal Powell and Dean Melbourne who work in the field of mythology, alchemy and depth psychology.

Objects made by Chantal and Dean will sit alongside works from The Ingram Collection as the artists explore the Dark Night of the Soul and the Night Sea Journey narrative. The exhibition presents symbols and imagery that help us navigate these chaotic and disorientating experiences on a journey that is necessary to achieve transformation. The recurring motif of the Night Sea Journey is commonly found in stories, both old and new, and explored in modern psychological practices. Visitors to the exhibition may have been on this journey, where creation, discovery and renewal emerge only after the darkness.
