Join us for a relaxed and informative Sunday brunch as we host a conversation between designer Katy Wallace and writer, independent art curator and publisher, Bronwyn Lloyd. 

Katy Wallace’s Caravannex, an experimental caravan designed to be useful 12 months of the year, will be in residence at Objectspace for one month. Designed by Katy Wallace after winning the CNZ Craft/Object Fellowship in 2017 and built by Katy and her partner Paulus McKinnon, Caravannex is a home away from home.

While at Objectspace, Caravannex will be occupied by four different creatives, including Bronwyn.

This conversation will discuss the conception and creation of the caravan and the importance of alternative and flexible spaces for both work and relaxation.

Stimulating creative conversation the sweet price of a coffee and a croissant. Coffee will be provided by our extraordinary hospitality partner Allpress Espresso. Coffee pouring from 10.30am and talk begins at 11am. Tickets are $8 (plus booking fees) here.
