Celebrate the learning, teaching and research that has contributed to the Living Places Exchange with free food, music and exhibition viewing.

Celebrate the ideas, projects and conversations from across the University that have brought the Living Places Exchange to life.

Participate in an iteration of the Frugal Canteen with food by Long Prawn, for a pick-and-mix menu and take-home recipe, sharing the power of clever, penny-pinching, and waste conscious cooking. Food will be served until it runs out.

Lunchtime soundtrack provided by Harper Damano, current RMIT Bachelor of Music Industry.

This is one of the last opportunities to engage with the Living Places Exchange before it closes in its current iteration at the end of September.

Date: Tuesday 22 September 2026

Time: 12-4pm
