02 Looking Forward/Looking Back: The Past

In our second episode, presented by Geraldine Blake, Huiyi Bao, Wayne Price and Paul Hetherington discuss “The Past”. The panel discuss childhood and the body as a site of memory; our debts to many pasts, including the medieval, ancient Chinese, and the renaissance; and the past as a rich seam to be mined for inspiration. The four episodes in this series were recorded in October, 2017, at Creative Conversations: Looking Forward/Looking Back. This public event was held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle, Western Australia. Over the course of the day four panels discussed problems of positioning, distance and perspective in relation to the past and the future. Proceedings on the day were recorded by David Le May from ABC Radio National. Music by Patrick Liddell and Matthew Liam Nicholson.
