We dedicate this year’s Adelaide Festival of Ideas to a prominent Australian who has left a mark on our cultural climate and public discourse. In 2021 we recognise former minister, long-serving parliamentarian and champion of education and the arts,&nbsp;Dr Diana Laidlaw AM. From her decades in the Legislative Council working across a range of portfolios from Arts to Transport and Urban Planning, to her ongoing support of the non-for-profit sector and recent work as an artist, Laidlaw has been an advocate for inspiration in whatever form it takes.
Please raise a glass with us as we celebrate an extraordinary South Australian
Speakers include: Hon. Dr. Diana Laidlaw AM, Greg Mackie OAM

Artists without Borders

Returning to a world reshaped by extraordinary upheaval, and in partnership with The University of Adelaide and Illuminate Adelaide, the 2021 Adelaide Festival of Ideas is back to shed a light on the challenges and opportunities of our time.
Guest curators Kirstie Parker, Isobel Marshall and Prof John Carty assembled a cracking lineup of distinguished leaders and trailblazers to discuss social impact, sustainability, innovation, culture, equality and our place in a shifting world.
