Unsettling Queenstown: Decolonising Tactics for Recovering Country
Under the moniker “Laboratory of the Future” the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale is calling for architecture to confront decarbonisation and decolonisation as linked, urgent imperatives. The Australia Pavilion’s Unsettling Queenstown exhibition responds to this call with an evocation of ‘Queenstown,’ a place both real and metaphorical, and an ‘open archive’ of decolonising tactics drawn from contemporary architectural thought and practice.
In this talk, Professor Julian Worrall, one of the Creative Directors of Unsettling Queenstown, discusses the genesis, realisation, and reception of the show, weighing its contribution and ongoing relevance at a significant juncture in Australia’s history.
Julian Worrall is Professor of Architecture and Head of the School of Architecture and Design at the University of Tasmania
Lecture Followed by Q & A with Professor Adrian Favell, Director, Radical Humanities Laboratory, UCC.
