Capturing Adelaide’s Music Visual Heritage Workshop

Adelaide’s UNESCO City of Music designation turns ten next year and to help celebrate this important milestone, and the diverse richness of our music culture, the Adelaide City of Music office would like to know what makes up your city of music.

Adelaide City of Music will be asking everyone to send audio, video, and images of moments, places, or experiences that make up your city of music.

To help explore Adelaide’s visual landscape and history, we are collaborating with Dr Robert Harland, Reader in Urban Graphic Heritage at Loughborough University in the UK who is returning to Adelaide to conduct a workshop and explore the relevance and importance of urban graphic heritage. The workshop will be held Tuesday, 5th November, Sir George Kingston Building, City West Campus, UniSA, Level 4, Room 30.

The workshop will encourage participants to look at the fabric of their city through an urban-graphic-heritage lens and to reveal associated meanings through personal and collective narratives.

Visual Heritage, unlike Architectural Heritage, is fleeting and more easily lost. Adelaide City of Music is keen to explore the rich visual history of Adelaide's music culture and to develop a clearer picture of what makes up our UNESCO City of Music through people’s shared and lived experiences.

For those interested in architecture, design, and visual heritage and Adelaide’s rich music history, please feel free to book here:
