Creative conservationists from diverse disciplines will present their ideas through talk, performance and presentation on the theme of listening and space.

How do we listen to our surrounding environment, both natural and built, to various changes we are experiencing, to the voices of present, past and future?

How does listening shape our place, what does listening mean to us?

Creative Conservation broadly explores and celebrates the role of creativity in the formation of our environmental values.

Facilitated by Kumi Kato of ecco: exchanging culture for conservation, guests include:

Uncle Joe Kirk, Turrbul people
Prof Helen Armstrong, landscape architecture, QUT
Dr Tamsin Kerr, researcher and writer
Lawrence English, sound artist, room40
Will Marcus, architect, ARGO Architect + master planners
