Do you have any old photos of the market, particularly your
business at the market?
A Queen Vic Market Heritage Forum is being conducted at the end of
March and organisers would love your old photos. Send them to Angela Shen or
simply contact Angela at angela.shen@qvm.com.au
We published details of the forum a little while back but here they are
again –
The Queen Victoria Market site has a
long and important history.
You’re invited to join a conversation
about how we can preserve and acknowledge this history as we prepare to renew
the market.
The first community forum as part of
the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal Program will be held on 29 March
2017.
We will provide an overview of some
of the heritage values of the site, the planning and strategies we have in
place to preserve the market’s history and encourage you to share your ideas
and proposals for activities to promote the history of the site during and beyond
the renewal program.
Panellists will include heritage
consultant and architect Peter Lovell, research fellow in digital ethnography
at RMIT, Shanti Sumartojo and Karl Boening from American Donut Kitchen, a
market institution since the 1950’s. This will be followed by a workshop to
explore ideas and suggestions on preserving and celebrating the market’s
heritage.
When:
5.15pm for 5.30pm start to 7.30 pm, Wednesday, 29 March 2017
Where:
Blue Room, Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne (directly
opposite the market)
