The Cultural Precinct’s Conversations Series has been developed to bring current issues across the Arts before a wider audience and to the forefront of discussion and debate.
A rotation of visiting international and Australian artists, writers and arts administrators will give workshops, conduct roundtable forums and present public lectures on campus in collaboration with the Institute of Advanced Studies, and UWA teaching faculties and research areas.

In the period when we are turning away from objects as mere signs, it is becoming commonplace for anthropological conferences to address the materiality of objects - their substance, their power, their enchantment and most recently, the emotions involved in curation. In this conversation, Maureen Fuary will consider the ontology and lively qualities of objects/things - their substance and effects.
