The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) at the University of Melbourne celebrates its 50th anniversary with the launch of a new VCA Director’s Dialogue Series.
In a series of four public forums, new Director of the VCA, Professor Emma Redding will lead discussions with some of Australia’s most prominent artists and thinkers.
Held across September and November at the University of Melbourne’s Southbank campus, the talks will provide a platform for critical discourse and the sharing of ideas around four key themes: arts and wellbeing, the globalisation and digitisation of arts practice, inclusion and diversity in the sector, and new approaches to training an artist in the pandemic decade.
The four talks in the VCA Director’s Dialogue Series are:
Speakers: Patricia Piccinini, Tiriki Onus, Jane Davidson, Sue Mayes and Kat McFerran
Speakers: Derrick Brown, Chris Mead, Alyson Campbell and Anthea Skinner
Speakers: Stelarc, Robert Walton, Adam Sutardy and Carol Brown
Speakers: Natalie King, Sally Smart, Simone Slee and Tiriki Onus
Professor Emma Redding, who joined the VCA earlier this year:
She was excited to be launching the new VCA Director’s Dialogue Series.
It’s an incredible privilege to be able to bring some of the nation’s leading artists and thinkers together to discuss key areas of focus for the VCA, as well as the many challenges and opportunities facing the arts sector during the pandemic decade.
I look forward to welcoming our students, alumni, and sector peers to the Southbank campus as we come together in recognition of the VCA’s 50th birthday this year, and position ourselves for the next half-century.
