To celebrate the Brisbane launch of the new book ‘An Act of Showing: rethinking artist-run initiatives through place’, publication co-editors Maria Miranda and Anabelle Lacroix, were joined in conversation with members of artist-run initiatives (ARIs) in South East Queensland.

For this special launch event the editors were joined by Aishla Manning (The Laundry Artspace), Rebecca Ross (The Walls), Danni Zuvela (Liquid Architecture, Other Film, The Walls), and Simone Hine and Kyle Weise (Kuiper Projects, ScreenSpace, Beam Contemporary, Metro Arts), to discuss the relevance of place for ARIs as well as responsiveness, cross-pollination, institutionalisation, and legacies.
