Symposium | Critical Conversations: Art, Access & the Digital Now

An international conference on inclusive digital innovation in arts and culture.

The Fremantle Biennale and DADAA are co-presenting a two-day access and digital technologies symposium. A first for Western Australia, this two-day international conference brings together researchers, technologists, artists, cultural workers, and advocates to explore how digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can make the arts more accessible.

With speakers and organisations from Australia and around the world, the symposium will include conversations, practical demonstrations, and opportunities to share ideas. It will focus on new ways to improve accessibility, equity, and inclusion – especially for people with disability and those from underrepresented communities.

The program includes keynote speakers, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and innovative projects that look at the connections between technology, culture, and social justice. The aim is to encourage collaboration and to work together to create an inclusive digital culture where everyone can take part in the arts.

Critical Conversations: Art, Access & the Digital Now will explore both exciting new possibilities and ongoing challenges, with the goal of reimagining the arts as a space of equal opportunity, creativity, and belonging.

Proudly supported by Curtin University, Lotterywest, WA Museum, Fremantle Ports and Fremantle Biennale.
