What's On
National Symposium: Changing Habits 6/06/10 to 8/06/10
Changing Habitats, the Young People and the Arts Australia’s national symposium will provide delegates with a mixture of panels, facilitated discussion groups, key-note speakers, performances, exhibitions, project engagement and networking opportunities. The program will be overflowing with internationally and nationally respected leaders, artists, thinkers, trendsetters, educators, curators, producers and performers.
The program is established over one overarching question “Are children and young people democratising culture?” as a way to focus our program of 2 international key note speakers, 10 leading national thinkers, 15 national arts industry presenters, 4 industry events, 4 national meetings, 1 master class.
A three day event in Brisbane, Changing Habits is also being held as part of QPAC’s Out of the Box Festival at the State Library of Queensland’s new digital cultural centre, ‘The Edge’.
“Set in the action at Out of the Box, this symposium is a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers from across the country and rigorously consider how and why we make our work. The days will be framed by provocations from presenters who are radicalising arts practice on the international stage. Prepare to get charged up, be challenged and leave inspired”
Rose Myers, Artistic Director Out of the Box Festival
An additional professional development master class will run prior to the core Symposium events (6, 7 & 8 June). Places for the master class are limited, and tickets to this will be sold separately.
Young people are also encouraged to attend, to give their views and opinions on the improvement of a democratised youth arts culture in Australia. A young people’s program will run alongside part of the Symposium content to encourage young people to voice their opinions and allow them to utilise the creative technologies available at The Edge. Tickets for under 26 yo will be made available.
Young People and the Arts Australia’s primary role as the national peak body for youth arts is to support all people who create an arts ecology for children and young people across urban and regional locations.
