Regenerative Spaces? Public art and engagement in urban placemaking

A Denis Winston Memorial Lecture, hosted in collaboration with the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. Featuring acclaimed visual artist, performer and film maker Tina Havelock Stephens, this memorial event considers the special role of public art and its intersections across architecture and urban design in creating inclusive and vibrant places. Tina Havelock Stevens’ recent works include Sonic Luminescence, an ever-evolving large scale sound and light installation located in the underground pedestrian tunnel at the new Metro Martin Place, Sydney (2024) and a 32 channel immersive sound installation for Sydney Football Stadium as part of the permanent Public Art program (2022). We will also hear from Michael Dagostino, Director of the Chau Chak Wing Museum and curator of the Australian Pavilion 2026 Venice Biennale. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Festival of Regenerative Urbanism 2025 Regenerative urbanism is about transforming spaces for people and the planet, through holistic action for systemic change. In an era of poly-crises – defined by climate threat, social inequality, and biodiversity loss – we must rethink systems for food, energy, water, waste, transport, land and housing. Beyond sustainability or minimising harm, and far from heavy-handed models of ‘urban regeneration’, a regenerative paradigm seeks to heal, restore, renew and revitalise ecosystems, actively improving environmental and social well-being. From leading First Nations experts in landscape design and architecture, to urban agriculture, restorative infrastructure, circular industries, and the creative economy, speakers and events at this year’s Festival of Regenerative Urbanism offer new and exciting possibilities for change. The Festival of Regenerative Urbanism will debate these topics and more. Join us to engage with academics, activists, politicians, industry leaders through our program of panel discussions, walking tours, and podcasts across Sydney and Australia.
