Funded Activity Summary

Australian Design, Trades and Manufacturing 1945-2007: Connecting Histories. This project aims to generate a new history of Australian design and manufacturing, by turning attention to the shifting relationship between designers and manufacturing tradespeople from 1945 to 2007. In so doing, this project will re-evaluate design's transition to a globally-networked, digitised practice. Anticipated outcomes include a monograph, oral history interviews in the National Library of Australia's collection and a podcast. Expected benefits include an enhanced understanding of occupational pathways across Australian design, manufacturing trades and the creative industries, to inform understandings of skills shortages, retraining, and how best to support knowledge-sharing between designers and manufacturers in the future.
