Who owns public space? How can we best engage with it? And how should it be shaped for the future?

Public space is more than just somewhere to sit or wander through - it is an invaluable resource for connection, learning, entertainment, protest, commemoration and celebration. It is a place where community comes together. But as ³Ô¹ÏÍø transforms, so too should the way we define and use these spaces.

Moderated by Walkley award-winning journalist Dr Jeff Sparrow, join Associate Director at OCULUS, Claire Martin; Director and CEO of ³Ô¹ÏÍø Arts Precinct Corporation, Katrina Sedgwick OAM; Chair of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of ³Ô¹ÏÍø, Dr Kim Dovey; and Associate Principal at Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, Sarah Lynn Rees, as they challenge conventional thinking on what makes a space truly public.

This is Public…Space is presented by ³Ô¹ÏÍø in partnership with program curators Open House ³Ô¹ÏÍø and event partner Fed Square.
