Cultural Diversity Project Conference #2 The Australia Council is seeking proposals to develop a subsequent conference which builds on the Globalisation + Art + Cultural Difference conference held in Sydney in 2001. The conference will provide an international, multicultural and interdisciplinary forum to enable new frameworks to explore cultural diversity. A multilayered conference, it will be open to practitioners, theorists, writers, and academics. The aim is to open up discussion around diasporic networks and civic cultures with particular reference to the arts and cultural production. Building on the strategic, critical and participatory successes of the 2001 conference, it is anticipated that this subsequent conference will include a roundtable of presenters and programmed spaces for participant workshops. This is an initiative of the Arts in a Multicultural Australia (AMA) policy which was launched in Melbourne on November 2000. The successful proposal will be from a partnership made up of key critical thinkers in the area of arts and multiculturalism and at least one organising body.
