THE ART OF THE CITY

In this latest episode of our Grimshaw podcast, Culture and the City series, Tim Williams interviews Rose Hiscock, Director of Museums and Collections at The University of Melbourne. Prior to this, Rose was Director of Science Gallery Melbourne and Director of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (Powerhouse Museum), Australia’s contemporary museum for excellence and innovation in applied arts and sciences. Rose is recognised as a national leader in her field with an international reputation. The discussion focuses on her role and the amazing collections she curates; her passion for the arts and for her city Melbourne; her innovative engagement with First Nations’ communities and cultures; and her great work in enabling young people, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, to access the city’s key galleries and collections. Rose is a city-shaper combining expertise and soul, which is why this interview is called: The Art of the City.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
