This special panel discussion explores the vital role played by the creative sector in helping communities navigate an uncertain future. In this case the uncertain future is made obvious by the unprecedented floods of 2022 and the clear need for a substantial change in how we prepare for and manage floods and other hazards in the Northern Rivers. Lismore is in the midst of a massive reconstruction effort, and this includes the major cultural institutions based there. This panel will explore how these organisations see their role in this moment in this community and will look at the decisions they have made regarding their own programs, infrastructure and future plans.
