  • The promotion of the Local Cultural Expressions – as artisans, local typical products makers, etc. – with the knowledge of their territory – as a great opportunity to make closer relations between visitors and local communities: an opportunity of starting a relationship of collaboration between these people on the way towards mutual understanding.

HUNGRY TOWN symposium, 11 March 2019, Melbourne – call for papers deadline: 21 December

ACAHUCH (Australian Centre for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage) is planning its second one-day Labour Day (Monday 11 March, 2019) symposium, this time presenting new research and directions in the field of food, place and heritage. Dining trends come and go; the heritage of food consumption is often ephemeral. Fashions have, at turns, embraced beer gardens, wineries, the phenomenon of the celebrity chef, migrant cafes, the temperance movement, theatre restaurants, al fresco dining and more. In all cases design has played a crucial and formative part in shaping not only food culture or the built environment, but also social interaction itself. We are seeking contributors to sessions based around themes exploring the value, purpose, form and history of spaces for the purchase, consumption and even production of food.

For more information, see the full call for papers here or email the ACAHUCH team.

Abstracts of 250 words are due by 21 December 2018.

How have the local and the global intersected, inspired and transformed experiences within and from Australia’s history?
