Migrating Modernism, Migrating Ideas: Transnational Exchanges in Architecture and Art is a symposium bringing together scholars and practitioners to explore how the movement of people, objects, and expertise reshapes art, the built environment, and their cultural meanings.

Across three days in Sydney (26–28 August), the symposium traces modern and contemporary exchanges across artistic and architectural cultures, professional networks, and the making of private and public commissions, asking what “migration” produces in terms of identity, authorship, and agency.

Research led by Associate Professor Jennifer Kent is examining how supported e-bike programs change travel behaviour.

“This research shows that behaviour change doesn't happen simply because someone has access to an e-bike and some bike paths. People need the skills, confidence and support to use them safely in everyday life,” she said.

'The Transformers Project' comes as governments invest billions in active transport and seek to reduce emissions from Australia's car-dependent transport system.
