Panel discussion: The Brisbane feel, cultivating a subtropical city

Town Square, Fish Lane, South Brisbane Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 5:30 – 6:30pm As part of Brisbane City’s Outdoor Gallery exhibition Sunny Side Up and the Asia Pacific Architecture Festival, you are invited to join us for a panel discussion exploring how identity of place is cultivated through architecture, design, art and food. What makes something look, feel and taste like Brisbane? How is an identity of a place created through architecture, design, art and food? Panelists from across these fields will offer their perspectives on how Brisbane’s ‘subtropical’ identity is cultivated and reinforced. How has policy, nostalgia, tourism, sustainability, and community shaped our understanding of the city’s character? Panellists include: Amelia Hine, artist (Chair) Phoebe Paradise, artist Angela Hirst, Wandering Cooks Ingrid Richards, Architect, Richards and Spence Olivia Daw, Member of Gabba Community Vision group Omar Barragan, Brisbane City Council Design Brisbane Manager Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery transforms Brisbane’s laneways and city streets into imaginary, curious and engaging spaces. Comprising light boxes, banner, vitrines and evening projections, the Outdoor Gallery displays art outside in city street, instead of inside on gallery walls. Recently, the Outdoor Gallery has grown to now include art projections at Howard Smith Wharves.
