Public art has the power to honour stories, shape place, and create enduring cultural legacies. This half-day seminar brings together artists and curators to explore how meaningful collaboration and site-responsive practice can result in meaningful and powerful public artworks.
Framed by the new sculpture Acknowledgement to Kabi Kabi Country by Lyndon Davis and Russell Anderson, the program includes keynote talks by Dr John Waldron and Lubi Thomas, alongside an artist panel discussion involving Lyndon Davis, Simone Eisler, Russell Anderson, and Lubi Thomas.
This event is ideal for artists, curators, commissioners, fabricators and anyone interested in the future of public art in Queensland and beyond.
