Across March we’ll be Reading the City; shining a light on the many ways we understand and talk about Melbourne itself. From the city as an abstract concept to the physical landscape in all its permutations, we’ll be hearing from visual artists and architects, policy makers and designers, novelists and historians. The City of Literature becomes the focus, and you’ll never read it the same way again.

Historians on Melbourne

Who better than historians to uncover the true identity of the city?

Chaired by SBS-TV’s Sam Pang, this will be a playful, surprising and utterly backward-looking dig into Melbourne’s past.

The panel will feature Robyn Annear, Peter McPhee, Jane Rhodes and LM Robinson.
