Brisculture is a community, a consultancy, and a conversation about fostering emergent and sustainable cultural practice in this lovely town of ours! One day it may even be a bar as well.
As part of the 2009 Brisbane CitySmart Innovation Festival, we are hosting a joint event with The Centre for Policy Development, and in conjunction with the Eidos Institute, on the 26th of May at the Old School of Arts in Ann Street, Brisbane – Creative Brisbane: Rethinking Innovation.
This event will only be the beginning – we’re conceiving BrisCulture as a rolling series of events, policy interventions, performances and conversations which exists in a virtual locale as well as in the spaces of the city.
In partnership with next year’s CitySmart Innovation Festival, we’ll be programming and curating an event which ’shows’ in 2010 what we ‘tell’ in 2009.
Over the course of the year, we’ll be hosting regular conversation events, some in conjunction with our partners: the Eidos Institute and The Centre for Policy Development.
We’re aiming high; but our collective goals are realisable because we’re approaching BrisCulture as an exercise in making connections, creating networks, working in conjunction and fostering the art of public conversation and collaborative policy making.
BrisCulture has been founded by Mark Bahnisch and Danielle Bentley. Our two core Brisculturators are most ably assisted by administrator Cate Gilpin.
