How does architecture align with Country and its values? This yarn reflects on what we can learn from Country and how it can inform our approaches to architecture, the built environment and public space as an extension of cultural practices, cultural expression and living histories.

Bringing together artists and architects - this event unpacks different processes and collaborations built on a keen sense of culture as a living condition invested in agency.

Guests include artist Dan Boyd, architects Richard Leplastrier, Dillon Kombumerri and design creative Alison Page. The talk will be moderated by Keith Munro, Leader, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Initiatives at the MCA.

This event also marks the opening of the MCA 30 years ago on 11 November 1991. The MCA stands on land that is of immense cultural and historical significance to the traditional owners of this place, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. It marks the location of First Contact between Aboriginal and European peoples, as well as the beginning of the country's colonial history.
