The Centre for Creative and Cultural Research is founded on two, closely related premises. Firstly, creativity arises from a deep engagement with the culture from which it emerges. Secondly, culture is inherently creative. The truth of these premises is most apparent in the work of our First Nations research staff, who simultaneously curate and create culture.

The architects, archaeologists, builders, designers, dramatists, heritage practitioners, novelists, painters, playspace-makers and poets who work with us likewise draw their work from a deep engagement with the societies and disciplines they inhabit. We repair, renew, explore and create, in equal measure.  

Please come to our many events, enrol in our short courses, and engage in our Culture and Creativity seminars every Thursday during semester. All welcome!
