The Urban Visual Dialogues series is going out with a bang for 2025, with a panel on visual governance which includes artists, activists, buffers, academics, and municipal managers.

Join us for presentations and a panel discussion with makers and managers of public images, and learn about the interesting roles these play in the visual culture of cities.
I will moderate a panel with:
- Kyle Magee, anti-advertising activist
- Prof Kurt Iveson, urban geographer working on urban spaces as public media
- Jo Mair, Creative Urban Places Programme Lead at the City of Melbourne
- Greg Ireland, Founder of Graffiti Removal Chemicals
- Manda Lane, botanical artist
