My research engages with the processes of and intersections between place, art, everyday life and brands.

 

In the place branding field, my research explores the socio-cultural dimensions of place brands, particularly the roles of art and other forms of symbolic communication within bottom-up place branding processes.

​

My present research focuses on the multi-faceted (e.g. social, cultural, economic) value of street art (including graffiti, murals etc.). I am currently investigating the value silo art and other rural murals to local communities, towns and economies throughout rural and regional Australia.

 

I believe that interdisciplinary research can facilitate social change and more inclusive, genuinely connected and sustainable futures.

I am currently investigating the multi-faceted (e.g. social, cultural, economic) value of Australian silo art.  

​

Continuing this research on larger scales is important to help facilitate the capacity of silo art to empower local communities, activate places and support the vitality and sustainability of regional Australian towns across the country for years to come. 

​

I have presented my earlier research into Australian silo art at international events in Copenhagen, Denmark (2019, Murals, Community, Place for Urban Professionals), and Adelaide, Australia (2019, Institute of Place Management Conference). 

 

I am conducting this research in collaboration with local groups and organisations
