Future Histories is a proposed annual arts festival in the Gabba Ward, a collection of neighbourhoods on the inner south side of Meanjin (Brisbane) – state capital of Queensland and the largest single municipality in Australia. Drawing attention to the latent cultural and civic potential of economically ring-fenced urban space, the festival provides a platform for designers and communities to work together in telling the past and future stories of these rapidly changing neighbourhoods. Conceived as a means of experimenting with new uses for overlooked and under-utilised sites, and as a vehicle for the expression of local cultural identity, the event seeks to catalyse an approach to planning and development built around creative participation and active citizenship.
