What does belonging mean, in a politically fractured, urbanised and mechanised post-colonial world such as Australia in general, and Sydney in particular? Is it possible to re-imagine the concept of belonging, both as members of a reconstituted – and hopefully more just – political community and as part of the larger – and often invisible – environmental communities that form the fabric of urban living today? To embark in this discussion, four speakers from radically diverse backgrounds will initiate a dialogue with the audience, in order to cooperatively ‘re-imagine’ our collective sense of belonging.
