Local Canberra offers an opportunity to explore the present and future of design through the work of five designers – Emma Elizabeth, Tom Fereday, Tom Skeehan, Andrew Simpson and Anna Varendorff.

The imagination, diversity, and techniques on display will attest to the crucial role these five designers have in the ongoing construction of cultural heritage.
