Tonya Meyrick is a Senior Lecturer, Screen and Design With the Faculty of Arts and Education, Deakin University, with over 25 years of experience and scholarship across Australia, Toronto and London. Now living in Geelong, Meyrick is the Guest Curator of the upcoming Geelong Design Week and sees her role as responsible in driving the success of a regional design festival in Australia’s only UNESCO City of Design.
In design curation, a key part of my work is building stories with communities from diverse fields around key themes and ideas. This year’s Geelong Design Week program showcases these efforts, highlighting themes across the built environment and architecture, circular economy and sustainable practices, and creative work from varied sectors of the design community.
