The Committee's first public event for 2023 will explore opportunities to embed the First Nations stories associated with waters, land and sky into Brisbane's/Meanjin's character – through landscape and architecture.

With a keynote address from Traditional Owner and senior storyteller Shannon Ruska - a descendant of the Yuggera, Turrbal, Nunukul, Gorenpul/Cooperoo, and Yugembir peoples - "Deadly designing – inspiration from the Country below the concrete" will commence a process to co-develop a Meanjin Design Protocol.
