Fringe to Famous Book Launch - 2 panel discussions

Fringe to Famous: Cultural Production in Australia After the Creative Industries
By Tony Moore, Mark Gibson, Chris McAuliffe and Maura Edmond
A widespread consensus is emerging around the need to move beyond the ‘neoliberal’ themes of efficiency and productivity to public policy based around ideas of value and ethics. How might thinking about art and culture contribute to this shift?
This event from the Centre of the Public Square, with special guest Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil and former Federal Minister for the Arts, addresses this question opening out into a conversation with the authors and a panel with cultural practitioners who were interviewed for Fringe to Famous. They engage with the book’s key argument that alternative creative scenes - from 1980s post-punk to 2010s digital DIY, inner city fringe comedy to Indigenous screen storytelling - have enjoyed potent crossover with mainstream institutions, invigorating popular culture and opening a new direction for policy.
Recorded on Friday 10 May @ Kaleide Theatre, RMIT City Campus, Melbourne - Wurundjeri land.
