We Make Belonging – In Conversation

Friday 21 November 2025 | 06:00 PM

Surfers Paradise

Three creative leaders – an artist, a storyteller, and a First Nations creative strategist – explore how we can all play a part in making belonging.

Join Morag Myerscough (UK) with special guests Holly Ringland and leading First Nations voices for an inspiring conversation on how art, design, and storytelling can help build communities where belonging truly thrives.

Belonging is more than a feeling – it is the foundation of strong, connected, and resilient communities. Yet in our rapidly changing world, too many people are left asking: Do I belong here?

This special evening of ideas and inspiration brings together three powerful voices:

Morag Myerscough is an internationally acclaimed artist whose bold, large-scale installations transform public spaces into landmarks of joy and connection.
Holly Ringland is a best-selling, award-winning author and ABC TV Presenter whose stories illuminate human need for connection.

Together, they’ll discuss the responsibility we all share to make belonging.
