Talks: Public Sydney focuses on how Sydneysiders use their city exploring themes such as play, meet, green and trade. Leading experts and commentators discuss Sydney’s public spaces, exploring the historic and contemporary perspectives of its architecture, heritage, design and development.
Over eight inspiring evenings hear eminent historians, writers, architects and social commentators discuss how Sydney’s public spaces became places where people meet, play, govern, protest, move, worship, trade and work.
Tickets to each lecture are sold separately. A discount applies to tickets purchased to all eight lectures – $240.
