Vivid Sydney 'in conversation with Veena' event

On 18 June 2022, Veena will feature in a special event for Vivid Sydney to explore sustainability issues and 'waste to product' innovations needed to help create a circular economy and reduce emissions.

The 'in conversation' event will be hosted by Dumbo Feather publication’s Nathan Scolaro at the Vivid Ideas Exchange Ideas at the UTS Great Hall and will traverse various ways to create more sustainable communities and treat waste as a resource for manufacturing and new products.

Vivid Sydney is an annual festival that sparks the soul of our city with creative brilliance for 23 days and nights. Celebrating its 12th year in 2022, Vivid Sydney fuses art, innovation and technology in collaboration with some of the most boundary-pushing artists, thinkers and musicians of our time.
