Episode description
Who was John Truscott? The multi-talented theatre designer, festival director and Academy Award-winning film designer was instrumental in creating the vibrant, celebratory public art culture Melburnians enjoy today. He was also responsible for the much-loved Botanica event in the Queen Victoria Gardens—the site of MPavilion.
Truscott's skills, achievements and legacy are fuel for lively discussion in this Q&A panel discussion that features contributions from those who knew him well—designer Ken Cato, landscape designer Paul Bangay, Australian Galleries' Stuart Purves, artistic director of White Night Melbourne, Andrew Walsh, and Martin Carlson, Chair of the John Truscott Design Foundation.
