  • 2019 Research Seminar Series

    Wednesday 16 October 2019 11:30am to 1:00pm

    Examining a recent project at Modifyre, an annual event produced by Brisbane-based arts organisation BURN Arts Inc and held near Inglewood in southeast Queensland, I outline an approach to design practice that seeks to enact this type of participation. Like architecture, festivals transform physical space in order to set forth shared imaginaries of both past and future. Their construction serves as a form of collective ritual by which our mythologies of place and identity are formed and thus can be challenged. Thus, using the methods of architectural design to unpack the social, material and spatial dimensions of these transformative events, I ask the question: what is the infrastructure of ritual?

  • 2019 Research Seminar Series

    Wednesday 18 September 2019 11:30am to 1:00pm

    Queensland lighthouses are celebrated as amongst Australia’s earliest colonial architectures. However, to date, the contribution of Indigenous Australians to their development has not been addressed. Many Aboriginal people still occupied their traditional lands when the first lighthouses and pilot stations were erected. Thus early lighthouses and pilot station first operated in an Indigenous landscape, at great remove from European settlement. This paper reconstructs how coastal surveillance became a catalyst for ‘entanglement’ between colonial and Indigenous communities in southern Queensland. It will be shown that coastal surveillance relied heavily on groups of Aboriginal people who stayed near, and assisted, these outposts with their functions.
