Creative Brisbane - Rethinking Innovation

6 – 8pm, 26th of May at the Eidos Institute, 166 Ann Street, BrisbaneWhile literature about Creative Cities abounds, every city has its own urbanism and its own distinct culture. A ‘one size fits all’ model doesn’t map neatly onto the specificities of place. How can we rethink creativity collaboratively? What can we learn from Brisbane’s unique cultural wellsprings and how can we support a sustainable creative ecology?Eidos Institute, BrisCulture and The Centre for Policy Development present an event bringing together academic, policy, curatorial and planning expertise to answer these questions and more. We hope to spark off a continuing conversation about how to ‘do’ creativity inclusively, innovatively and for the long term.The event will be Chaired by Eidos Institute CEO, Professor Bruce Muirhead. Speakers are cultural policy expert and 2020 Summit participant Marcus Westbury, festival curator Danielle Bentley, writer and urban consultant Linda Carroli, QUT researcher Jaz Choi and publisher, consultant and sociologist Mark Bahnisch. Join us at the Eidos Institute on Ann Street for what will be the start of an ongoing exploration of sustainable creative futures. Creative Brisbane: Rethinking Innovation comprises an interactive panel discussion targeted at creative practitioners and urban professionals, and all who care about our collective urban cultures.
