Challenges and the future

This session was part of the Australian Academy of the Humanities' 56th Annual Symposium, The Humanities and Creative Practice, convened by Distinguished Professor Peter McNeil FAHA. --- This final session encourages reflection at the end of a symposium that has considered the power of bringing together Humanities research and creative practice. We will have covered topics ranging from the significance of First Nations design to ethical methodologies, difficult art and cancel culture, the place of creative practice research in the contemporary Australian university; and heard from performers, composers, designers and artists. The session is an opportunity to reflect on what’s next. Papers address the mismatch between government policy and training in the areas of art, craft and design, discussion of censorship, the significance of arts and cultural backgrounds and training in driving the creative economy, and new audiences and ways of being for future cultural organisations.
