A conversation about design education

Session 1: The ANU School of Art will host a public art forum keynote address by international educator, independent curator and writer Vicki Halper. Halper will discuss the relationship of studio craft and design as seen through the eyes of American practitioners after World War II.

Session 2: Following the keynote address will be an afternoon of talks and presentations from leaders in their field that explore changes in design education. With a particular focus on activities in the ACT, this symposium will present you with the current view of designers, makers and educators who actively inform this discussion. This session will allow you to gain an insight into design education locally, interstate and overseas. Finishing with a Q&A session, you will be able to engage with the expertise of this panel.
