Within the ever expanding network of purpose built and re-appropriated buildings designed to house and display contemporary art and its associated discourse, this panel discussion investigates the possible guidelines and outcomes for the creation of these spaces, and explores the important relationship between architects and the contemporary Australian arts ecology.
How is a contemporary narrative suggested through architecture and design? What is the significance of this to the community when we don’t all share the same perspective. The event’s speakers are central to the cultural and contemporary arts community in Australia. They represent diverse perspectives and experiences and will together interrogate their insights into the architecture of cultural institutions.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
