Adelaide’s graphic heritage
How is heritage communicated across various scales of the Adelaide city region? In this project, a graphic heritage perspective is utilised to highlight the contested identity of Adelaide as a quintessential colonial city.
Through collaboration with the University of South Australia, the SIDA Foundation, and The David Roche Foundation collection, the project provides the opportunity to explore how decorative arts illuminate and substantiate the concept of graphic heritage as a representation of Adelaide's past, present, and future.
The aim is to establish the parameters for an auditing tool to provide an overview of the defining graphic heritage assets that determine and define the heritage places and spaces associated with Adelaide. A key objective is to explore how graphic heritage contributes to a shared domain for discourse and reconciliation that benefits all Australians.
