New Planetary Imageries with Liam Young

Join them at the IMA for a storytelling performance with architect, director, and BAFTA-nominated producer Liam Young.
Operating at the juncture of design, fiction, and futures, Young returns to his hometown of Meanjin/Brisbane to present a screenscape of alternative, hopeful worlds. Slipping between fiction and documentary, his presentation will showcase images of tomorrow and illuminate the environmental questions of today.
Young has been described by the BBC as 'the man designing our futures'. As a worldbuilder, he visualises the cities, spaces, and props of our imaginary futures for the film and television industry. His films have premiered with platforms ranging from Channel 4, Tribeca Film Festival, Venice Biennale, the BBC, and The Guardian and have been collected by MoMA, the Smithsonian, Art Institute of Chicago, SF MoMA, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the National Gallery of Victoria. Young is in demand as one of the world's foremost futurists, consulting on next-generation technologies and designs.
This event is part of an ongoing architecture discussion series led by Andrew Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Architecture at University of Queensland, and Andrew Leach, Professor of Architectural History at Queensland University of Technology. Supported by University of Queensland.
