A Sense of Place: David Lancashire in Conversation

David Lancashire is one of Australia’s most renowned and respected graphic designers. He studied fine arts at the Circle Studio from the age of eleven and went into design studios and advertising before emigrating to Australia in 1966. 

In 1976, he started his own studio in Melbourne, working on packaging, corporate identity programmes and publication design. He had a life-changing experience when he began working with Indigenous Australians on visitor centres and museums in 1993, interpreting one of the oldest cultures on earth. 

In conversation with fellow designer Dominic Hofstede, David will reflect upon the critical transformative moments of his rich and varied career, and discuss the importance of legacy in a profession where so much is ephemeral.
