On Wednesday 14 April, the last day of Brisbane’s COVID lock down, the ASE partnered with the ADG and Griffith Film School to present an In Conversation with Dr Karen Pearlman event.
Griffith University gave us the use of their large central theatre, which allowed our 50 registered participants to socially distance (one chair apart) and enjoy the presentation sans face masks.

Karen screened her trilogy of short films in one go, which was a first for Karen, and then Mairi Cameron (the Qld head of the ADG) and myself (Qld head of the ASE) moderated the questions /conversation session.
It was a really fantastic session, with lots of great questions after the films. Our session went for for about 90 mins and after that we continued ‘the conversation’ at the nearby pub, The Ship Inn.
We’re so thankful that Karen was able to drop into Brisbane and deliver this event for us.
