Incinerator x MADA Talk Series: Regenerating and Reconnecting Spaces

Monash University’s Art, Design, and Architecture (MADA) is teaming up with the Incinerator Gallery to deliver a three-part public program.

Incinerator x MADA Talk 3: Regenerating and Reconnecting Recreational and Cultural Facilities

This event explores regenerative approaches to revitalising ageing and often unviable recreational facilities. Held on site at the former Maribyrnong Bowls Club, the session includes presentations of case studies that showcase renewed community infrastructure. These are followed by short presentations around strategic approaches to the regeneration of community facilities that support community cultural and social needs, local ecologies and respond to the realities of contemporary urban life. The event concludes with a keynote lecture by These Are The Projects We Do Together, operator of Brunswick's recently opened Balam Balam creative hub, about transforming challenging or underutilised sites into socially vibrant, inclusive places through architecture, curation, education and ongoing operations.

Produced by Incinerator Gallery and MADA, in association with Festival of Urbanism 2025.
