It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humidity: Developing a practice-based method for cultural history curation and dissemination
This research contributes new knowledge about the curation and presentation of cultural history. Relationships between curation and performance were tested through the development of an interdisciplinary approach to capturing, storing and sharing the histories of subcultures or scenes, and the creation of a public performance centred around the Brisbane punk and post-punk music scene. The project contributes new understanding of how public stories about popular culture can be presented while simultaneously generating new knowledge about the culture itself.
