Urban Visual Dialogues 2: On Values and Assets of City Surfaces

We are resuming our Urban Visual Dialogues event series with two presentations by my collaborators-friends-visiting PhDs, Tom Ward and Cecilia Brazioli. Cecilia and Tom are in Melbourne for 3 months and this is their main public-facing seminar.

Join us if you’re in Melbourne to learn about how murals, graffiti, and street art are changing the values of urban spaces.

Cecilia Brazioli (University of Milan), “Value attribution in urban spaces through graffiti and street art”

Tom Ward (Uppsala University), “Understanding the mural economy”

The event includes a discussion on the role of the concepts of “value” and “asset” in research on justice, images, and creativity in cities. It is organised in conjunction with the Social and Visual Justice Research Cluster I co-lead at the Melbourne Centre for Cities.

🗓️ Tuesday 18 November 2025, 3-5pm, followed by drinks

📍 G26, Biosciences 1, 87 Tin Alley, University of Melbourne Parkville Campus
