Imagine a World Without Memory

This event is now complete.

The concept of heritage listing a building or a mountain is a well defined and familiar one, but preserving and maintaining a link with the past and building a narrative as a culture, involves far more tenuous elements.

Who protects our stories, our histories, our memories? In partnership with the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World program, we reflect on the importance and impermanence of memory. Chaired by Michael Cathcart.
