Margolese National Design for Living award winner Jane Wolff is delivering a special public lecture at Melbourne School of Design on her work framing public conversations about how to manage complex and contested landscapes that are subject to change.

Wolff envisions a role for design that is different from offering specific solutions to singular problems. Instead, they offer widely accessible tools for understanding, discussing, and reimagining our shared places with the institutions and policymakers that control them.

Wolff’s goal is to help people recognise their own roles in this ecosystem and consider the impacts of their individual and collective decisions.

In an uncertain time, landscape literacy and landscape conversations are means toward conceiving and realising possibilities that are kinder, more just, and more resilient than the status quo.

Please join us after the lecture from 7.30-8.30pm for the launch of Wolff's exhibition Conversations along the Shore. Light refreshments will be served.

Venue: The University of Melbourne, Singapore Theatre (B120), Glyn Davis Building (MSD), Masson Road, Parkville
