The recent publication of Tasmania - The Tipping Point?, a collaboration between Griffith REVIEW and UTAS, has injected fresh ideas into old debates about Tasmania's future. The creative economy has been one of the hottest topics of national discussion. Many Tasmanians want to know more about translating its potential into downhome reality.

On Thursday 14 March 2013, the Inglis Clark Centre for Civil Society hosted the latest in a series of Denison Debates ‘The Creative Economy – Fantasy, Strategy or Reality?’.  The debate features Associate Professor Natasha Cica in conversation with:

  • Esa Laaksonen - Director of the Alvar Aalto Academy, Finland
  • Professor Julianne Schultz AM - Founding Editor of Griffith REVIEW
  • The Hon David O'Byrne MP - Tasmanian Minister for Economic Development
  • Rachel Edwards - Co-editor, Island Magazine
