[Andrew Hickey]

SIETAR Australasia Inaugural Conference 2015
22 - 24 October 2015, Cairns, Queensland, Australia



My culture. Your culture. Our culture.
'Super Diversity and Multiculturalism. Managing and understanding diversity and culture at home and abroad.'



We invite theoretical and practical contributions questioning all forms of multiculturalism from dance, art to indigenous cultural sovereighty amongst some of the topics we like to discuss. this is an inter-disciplinary conference.



Our inaugural conference is about multiculturalism locally and globally. We would like to encourage and promote a deeper dialogue about multitudes of cultures co-existing without one dominating any of them. This is the ideal of multiculturalism we are aiming to explore in our conference: How to share without being subsumed.



We encourage all our participants to explore these ideas, to demonstrate and to find new ways to unite cultures in their presentations, workshops, or film, or any other performing art medium. We would like to explore the notion of how we can all co-exist and share our different cultures, but without being subsumed into one another’s culture. So join us in sharing your culture with my culture for us to create our culture together.
