Curiocity Brisbane Returns to Spark Imagination, Invention and Innovation in 2020 Curiocity Brisbane returns to spark imagination, invention and innovation in 2020 Curiocity Brisbane will again challenge and inspire visitors of all ages in 2020 following its trailblazing debut in March 2019. A celebration of creativity, innovation, science, technology and art, Curiocity Brisbane returns to the city, bigger and bolder, from 20 March to 5 April 2020. Over three weeks, Curiocity Brisbane will deliver a program of immersive, interactive and multi-sensory experiences as along with the world-leading QODE technology and innovation festival (24 – 25 March), and globally-renowned events World Science Festival Brisbane (25 – 29 March) and the thought provoking and celebratory WOW (Women of the World) Australia 2020 (2 – 5 April), plus two special QAGOMA Water Up Late events (20 – 21 March). More than 325,000 people attended the inaugural Curiocity Brisbane events, boosting Queensland’s reputation as a world leader in science, technology, innovation and the arts. The return of this flagship creative platform has been made possible by significant funding and a close collaboration between the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland, and Brisbane City Council, through Brisbane Marketing. Innovation Minister Kate Jones said Curiocity Brisbane would continue to build on the successful 2019 inaugural event. “We invest in events because we know they drive visitation and support local jobs,” Ms Jones said. “We developed this brand-new concept in 2019 to spark visitors’ curiosity and create buzz in Brisbane through the exploration of new innovative technologies and interactive artwork. “Cultural tourism is booming globally. Events like this help to build up Queensland’s reputation globally as a haven for arts and culture. Page 1 of 5 “More than 325,000 people attended the first festival last year. Combined, Curiocity Brisbane, QODE and the World Science Festival and generated nearly $15.9 million for Queensland. “In 2020, Curiocity will continue to grow and deliver more than $17.3 million to the Queensland economy. “Visitors will also get to enjoy a range of temporary interactive installations along the river, known as ‘Curiocities’, providing an immersive, sensory experience, which were a hit in 2019.” Brisbane Deputy Mayor Cr Krista Adams said the city was proud to support the return of Curiocity Brisbane in 2020. “Curiocity Brisbane is a powerful event through which Brisbane is showcased as an Asia Pacific hub for science, innovation, technology and the arts,” Cr Adams said. “This important event shines a spotlight on Brisbane’s expertise, attracts global thought leaders and creates more to see and do for residents and visitors. “Major events including Curiocity Brisbane inject more than $150 million for Brisbane’s economy every year and provide a valuable boost to our local tourism, hospitality, retail and service sectors.” Guest Creative Director of Curiocity Brisbane and Brisbane Powerhouse Artistic Director Kris Stewart said added events, new innovations and a greater digital footprint meant more visitors than ever could immerse themselves in the pioneering creativity of the city. “The very nature of Brisbane is one of a future-facing city; one that inherently embraces imagination, innovation and invention,” Mr Stewart said. “There is a sense of playfulness and a rich seam of creativity and curiosity that propels residents and visitors to reinvent themselves, discover their passions and do things a little differently. “Curiocity Brisbane, in its second year, builds upon this idea of a ‘playable Brisbane’ where imagination, innovation, creativity, science, technology and art intersect and people of all ages can explore, invent and play.” A range of free interactive installations and pop-up experiences will ignite curiosity across creative hubs throughout Brisbane including Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), State Library of Queensland, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Victoria Bridge, Queen Street Mall, Reddacliff Place, New Farm Park and Captain Burke Park. A highlight is the world premiere of Digital Domes, a pop-up at New Farm Park from 20 – 22 March. This collection of large geodesic domes will project the latest innovations in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), gaming and screen technologies. QODE, a global technology and innovation festival for companies, government, investors, entrepreneurs and start-ups looking to influence and shape the global business landscape, will continue the momentum generated from its 2019 launch. Chief QODE Officer and Managing Director of Messe International Jackie Taranto said the two-day event had positioned itself as a serious platform to showcase the innovation coming out of Queensland to a global community. “QODE will welcome the world’s leading companies and thought leaders in the tech space and again thrust Queensland’s thriving start-up community under the spotlight,” Ms Taranto said. Page 2 of 5 “More than 3000 delegates will take part in a genuinely immersive experience where they can glean insight from international experts, share content and experiences with dozens of exhibitors and meet the entrepreneurs behind the state’s most progressive start-ups.” The popular and successful fifth annual World Science Festival Brisbane is another highlight of Curiocity Brisbane’s line up of events, with thousands of attendees expected to once again explore, create and play. Queensland Museum Network CEO Dr Jim Thompson said Queensland Museum’s World Science Festival Brisbane 2020 program will be a fusion of science and arts, with a focus on the theme of Extremes and Adaptations. “Through a compelling program of signature events, conversations, and cinema the program will allow audiences the chance to explore the diversity of nature, the miracle of human existence and ingenuity, physics, and the mind-blowing promise of space,” Dr Thompson said. “We’re also looking forward to delivering a new World Science Festival Brisbane regional program that will be rolled out throughout the year in Chinchilla, Gladstone and our museum campuses in Toowoomba, Townville and Ipswich in 2020.” World Science Festival Brisbane explores and celebrates the intersection of science and art through a program of interactive workshops, engaging demonstrations, inspiring theatrical and cinematic experiences and idea-sparking conversations across Queensland. Falling under Curiocity Brisbane’s banner for the first time is the internationally-established and agenda- setting WOW Australia 2020 at Brisbane Powerhouse from 2 – 5 April. The festival will build upon the success of WOW at Festival 2018 in Brisbane, expanding and enhancing ongoing conversations with diverse groups of women from Queensland, across Australia and internationally. Executive Producer of WOW Australia Cathy Hunt said “Uplifting, challenging and lifechanging, WOW is a global movement supporting women and girls – where they can share their stories, celebrate their extraordinary achievements, and find solutions to the many barriers that still prevent them from realising their full potential”. “We want attendees to be inspired, learn new skills, go away and change the world.” Sparking further curiosity and conversation about the interconnectedness of science, technology, arts and innovation, QAGOMA will present Water Up Late over two massive nights on 20 and 21 March. In conjunction with the major summer exhibition at GOMA, Water Up Late will include leading Australian music acts performing on indoor and outdoor stages, pop-up performances, playful science activations, karaoke, bars, dining and more!

  • Children in Inner City Suburbia the Case of New Farm, Brisbane
    CHILDREN IN INNER CITY SUBURBIA THE CASE OF NEW FARM, BRISBANE DRAFT- WORK IN PROGRESS – “This research report was prepared for and funded by the Creating Child-friendly Cities Conference, Sydney, 30-31 October 2006” Prepared by Phil Crane, Stephanie Wyeth, Mark Brough and Anne Spencer Queensland University of Technology Public Space Research Team October 2006 Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth www.aracy.org.au 1 Acknowledgements Many thanks to Wayne Delaforce and Bernadette Savage from QUT , to Brisbane City Council and the numerous organisations and individuals who assisted us. Cover photo © Rebecca c/- www.yspace.net , other photos © Phil Crane and Anna Spencer. 1.0 Introduction This case study has been undertaken as one of a series to inform the Child Friendly Cities Symposium conducted in Sydney October 30-31 2006. New Farm, Brisbane was selected for its capacity to throw light on the experience and issues of children in an Australian inner city suburban environment. As with other case study research it does not assume generalisability to other inner city suburban contexts, though it will be suggested there are a range of relevant considerations arising from it. New Farm presents as having some obviously child friendly features. It is home to one of Brisbane’s iconic parks with its’ childrens’ playground woven into grand trees, is surrounded on three sides by the Brisbane River, and has emerged as a hub for fringe arts and performance. From the early 1990’s New Farm and the surrounding are has been the subject of quite intense urban renewal attention.
