Radical Melbourne: City of Ideas

Join us for this Melbourne Design Week edition Culture Salon, Radical Melbourne: City of Ideas is a conversation reflecting on the radical ideas that made Melbourne the vibrant city it is today.

Melbourne in the 1980s was a testing ground for new ideas to  flourish in design disciplines across the spectrum from fashion to architecture. Driven by inclusive and imaginative subcultures, often supported by a sympathetic state government, the social and cultural infrastructure of the city and inner suburbs was radically transformed.

Our guests, including Journal contributing author Karen Burns, delve into RMIT Gallery exhibition Radical Utopia: an archaeology of a creative city. Led by moderator Sarah Teasley, the discussion will explore the new ideas that emerged.
