Arch Hive

Arch Hive

This project celebrates Geelong’s rich culture of design, art, architecture, and industry, from past to present, through an exhibition and workshop of new creative works created using scans and photographs of artefacts from The Geelong Heritage Centre Archives coupled with contemporary design ephemera.

Using qualitative and semiotic analysis, these works playfully combine, juxtapose, compare, re-purpose, re-frame and re-imagine these elements to create new works that observe, comment, critique and consider the evolution of the Geelong region through its design output over the 175 years.

This event is part of Geelong Design Week 2024, an initiative of Geelong UNESCO City of Design and the City of Greater Geelong.
