New session coming soon!

Ticket includes
wine & lively
conversation


Some would argue Australia’s most unruly urban rioting & democratic rights contests happened here, in this sleepy, sunny town of ours. From our turbulent political past in the Bjelke-Petersen years, to the local and global calls-to-action saturating our everyday news feed.
The many pockets of Brisbane activism are as diverse as the growing urban population. Who is the modern day activist & how have they evolved since the days of violent street-based rallying in the seventies? What is the most impactful form of activism & how does individual agency play a part — from your choice of work to your waste habits?
Inject some intellect into your Sunday afternoon & join the social conversation.
