In the spirit of reconciliation ACUADS acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
2024 ACUADS Conference
Regeneration, Repair, and Care
Art and Design serve as catalysts for revitalisation by stimulating economic development, engaging communities and preserving culture, renewing physical spaces, fostering innovation, promoting social cohesion, and supporting environmental sustainability. Art and Design are also imperative in connecting us with one another and the world around us, “with other species, with soil, water and even the universe” (Pestana, 2021). With this in mind, the 2024 ACUADS Conference is embracing the theme of Regeneration, Repair, and Care, as a guiding principle for our collective endeavours towards resilience and revitalisation.
