3 What is HOWC Introduction The House of World Cultures (HoWC) will offer a unique opportunity to activate Victoria s living cultural heritage. By creating a world renowned symbolic and creative place where all cultures are welcome to express, share, participate, celebrate and learn. We will ensure a strong cultural legacy for the State of Victoria. The HoWC mission is to facilitate a deep sense of community identity and social cohesion by celebrating cultural diversity and providing opportunities for collaborative cultural expression. The House of World Cultures vision is to be recognised internationally as Victoria s iconic home for the celebration of cultural diversity. A House of World Cultures in Victoria would be a leading light in contemporary art and current developments in world cultures, where exploration is encouraged, a dialogue is created and intercultural collaborations are initiated. Emphasising the vital role of culture for the progress of society at large. Drawing inspiration from international benchmarks including New York s Piers 54 and 57 and New Zealand s Te Papa, the HoWC will function as both a programmable multi-disciplinary arts and community space incubating new work and facilitating social cohesion and cultural exchange. The concept has also been inspired by a series of successful Piers Festivals that celebrated diversity and were attended by thousands of local residents and Victoria s culturally diverse communities. The HoWC will provide an opportunity to politically and symbolically recognise the cultural value of the community. It would promote Victoria as the creative State and as the leader in social cohesion and community harmony. It will deliver a broad range of activities and events to artists and visitors to enjoy, reflect and learn - extending its program to communities in metropolitan and regional Victoria. It is about our future. 3 Above: Mikelangelo and Gnarnayarrahe Waitairie as Black Elvis, Piers Festival 2015, photo by DWV Photography 4 Fina Po (Flower), Traces of Transformation as part of Mapping Melbourne 2014, photo by Windu Kuntoro

4 What is HOWC The HoWC provides the State with the opportunity to align with, promote and celebrate the UNESCO Convention on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expression. The HoWC is shaped by the guiding principles of cultural vitality, creative aspiration, social equity and global harmony - building on the foundations of partnership, respect and human rights. The HoWC feasibility study, commissioned by Multicultural Arts Victoria, indicated that there are currently no symbolic places for the celebration of cultural diversity that will meet the goals proposed for the HoWC. Princes Pier on the Port Melbourne waterfront is the preferred option for this initiative. Rich with heritage, the Pier has played a key role in major historical events that have shaped Australia as a nation. These events have held extraordinary significance for the wider global community and are central in forging our nation s identity. The development of a House of World Cultures aligns with a range of Victorian Government policies, priorities and programs as well as relevant national and international policies. As Victoria moves towards a more culturally diverse population, consideration of the impact this increasing diversity will have on the community and its wellbeing is paramount. 5 Asanti Dance Theatre, Piers Festival 2014, photo by DWV Photography 6

5 What is HOWC 3D Simulation The House of World Cultures has the capacity to regenerate and repurpose existing facilities into contemporary use. The unique concept of the architectural use of shipping containers on Princes Pier as venues for pop up events carries notable symbolism as the first port of arrival of large numbers of Victorian immigrants. The HoWC will accommodate arts and cultural activities encompassing the widest range of forms including visual arts, literature, performing arts, film, discussions and digital media. The diverse cultures of Victoria will be represented throughout these activities and events. Both professional and community events are at the core of the HoWC. cultures, health and wellbeing activities and international engagement. The HoWC is a great opportunity to capitalise on the significant investment made in restoring the Princes Pier. It will be a sympathetic, functional, accessible and culturally significant offer that is respectful of its heritage and recognises its past in realising the future in an evocative and imaginative way. The HoWC will involve many stakeholders in the delivery of an exciting program of events and activities that encourage community access and engagement, and promotes cultural tourism - creating significant social and economic impact for Victoria. 7 Design Concept by ITN Architects. The concept for activation considers a year round program of events, experiences and food and beverage opportunities that would be presented in seasonal offerings. The proposed activities and events include cultural celebrations, creative arts, cultural incubators, authentic food and craft offerings, exhibitions, a school of world 8

6 What is HOWC A retail strategy based on A Taste of the World vision would represent the different cultures across Victoria. Under initial plans, one or more containers and/or stalls would be available for creative enterprise. The stalls would operate during identified festivals and other monthly events. Noting that critical mass is important for these events. The House of World Cultures would provide a sustainable and innovative use of space that will boost Victoria s creative economy and tourism. The House of World Cultures would contribute enormously to the State s growth and unique character. In order to create a destination for Port Melbourne and to bring a sense of fun and exploration to Princes Pier, there is opportunity to also investigate the use of a large tent (minimum 500 people standing) to house flexible retail elements. Similar examples world wide include the Dutch Spiegeltent. A demountable structure such as this would be of particular value in winter months where it would provide shelter from the cold, wind and rain. There is also potential for additional stall structures to be located around the outside edges with internal seating and a central stage for performances. 9 Design Concept by ITN Architects. 10

7 Guiding Principles Cultural Vitality A Taste of the World - creating unique cultural experiences Renewing cultural expressions Shaping new cultural narratives through sharing different perspectives Creative Aspiration Inspire innovation and celebration that explores cultural identity Giving voice and creative opportunity to all cultures Growing dynamic Australian creative cultural content Social Equity Affirming that arts and cultural diversity defines our community Strengthening the creative ecology to ensure access for all Facilitating creative social enterprise that builds resilience, sustainability and economic opportunities Transformative leadership Global Harmony Build capacity across communities, thinking globally Encouraging discourse on contemporary issues of our time Embracing identity and cultural knowledge Enhancing cultural diplomacy and cultural tourism 11 12

8 Why is it important Benefits The importance of the creative industries as a platform for positive and nonthreatening cultural expression underpins the House of World Cultures. Multicultural Arts Victoria s long history strongly demonstrates how arts and cultural interactions bring change, acceptance and respect. The HoWC will provide tangible cultural, social and economic benefits. The HoWC strategy, A Taste of the World will focus on: Diversity and vibrancy Generosity and sharing Authenticity and rituals Stories and learning The HoWC will transform hearts, minds and lives. It will grow Victoria s creative industries by educating, fostering and nurturing an appreciation of diverse cultural expressions and will celebrate Victoria s uniqueness. It will ensure the State is at the forefront of social cohesion and cultural democracy and will provide important international links to global communities. The HoWC will be recognised internationally as an iconic symbol of cultural diversity - contributing to the social and economic growth of Victoria s multicultural population. The HoWC will provide a platform for the growing population to participate in the creative industries and it will expand the cultural tourism infrastructure within Victoria. HoWC will enhance Victoria s reputation as the creative capital and leader in diversity. 13 Above: Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture, Piers Festival 2013, photo by DWV Photography 14 Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture, Piers Festival 2012, photo by Peter Glenane

9 Investment Multicultural Arts Victoria has made a significant investment in developing House of World Cultures. By investing in cultural diversity the HoWC aims to address two key problems: The lack of equitable cultural participation is not reflective of the Victorian community The lack of understanding and visibility of a multi-lingual, multi-faith changing population is challenging social cohesion The HoWC invests in the cultural diversity of a contemporary Victoria, providing opportunity for grass roots engagement of cultural groups and artists to produce and participate in creative opportunities. The HoWC will enhance the profile of Victoria s diverse communities whilst honouring and respecting the cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The delivery and long term operations of the HoWC at Princes Pier is a feasible project with capital and recurrent financial commitment from State Government, as well as revenue streams secured from Government agencies, commercial operations and the private sector. The State Government of Victoria and other agencies would need to invest $18,780,000 of capital costs and approximately $2,200,000 per annum in recurrent funding for MAV to manage the activation program. Other options investigated to date include the St Kilda Triangle, the Tote in Collingwood and the Meat Market in North Melbourne. The HoWC will enable new program delivery and events that have not been readily available to the community in such a capacity before. It will significantly contribute to the cultural infrastructure of Victoria. The HoWC will provide a home for cultural The HoWC will provide opportunities for activities as well as a base for outreach understanding and visibility of a changing, programs to be implemented throughout multicultural population. metropolitan and regional Victoria and internationally. 15 Fireworks at the Piers Festival 2012, photo by Peter Glenane 16 House of World Cultures Announcement, Princes Pier 2014, photo by DWV Photography

10 From the artists In developing the HoWC, Multicultural Arts Victoria held stakeholder workshops and community consultations that resulted in considerable positive feedback from Australian artists from culturally diverse backgrounds. Artists were enthusiastic about the HoWC as a cultural incubator of talent. They believed it would be transformational for artists, audiences and the wider community. What they said: A place for creative development and incubation A place to learn, share, support and thrive HoWC is a place of discovery The HoWC will directly support artists by providing professional opportunities and exposure to the wider community A special place to consume world art The HoWC will enhance creative enterprise development and will encourage and assist artists to showcase their talents Intergenerational and intercultural engagement is important The HoWC would be a great place for younger people from multicultural groups to come together to explore and express their feelings on identity and to realise their aspirations HoWC is a place where everyone feels welcome in a safe and respectful environment The HoWC gives valuable opportunities for greater public visibility of our culture Sharing culture, stories and knowledge is critical in a two way learning environment A HoWC is a place to explore links and commonalities in cultural diversity Opportunity for community engagement and education A place that promotes a sense of belonging 17 Nakarin Jaikla, body art, Traces of Transformation, Mapping Melbourne 2014, photo by Windu Kuntoro 18

11 around the world Aspirational Benchmarks around the world Aspirational Benchmarks Pier new york Pier 54 played an important role as Hudson River Park s primary event space and has since been in the redevelopment process. The vision for Pier 54/55 is to create a new park built on a platform over the Hudson River that would float above the water. The space will include an amphitheatre as well as other performance areas and cultural spaces. te papa new zealand Te Papa is the National Museum of New Zealand and was developed in The museum acts as a forum for change and helps people form ideas about the world through experiencing and sharing different perspectives. It provides a strong benchmark in relation to bringing together communities and representing the original people of the land and all others that have come to New Zealand. haus der kulturen berlin Haus der Kulturen or the House of Cultures was opened in 1989 in Berlin with the intention of bringing diverse societal groups in the immigrant-rich metropolis of Berlin into conversation. Its success lies in the flexibility of its space and ability to present a wide range of programs covering all forms of creative expression in an iconic building that forms a destination in itself. Pier 57 New York The vision is to create approximately 300,000 square feet of innovative cultural, recreational and public market activities, all located within a restored historic structure. Several acres of public open space on the Pier 57 rooftop and along the waterfront will also be created. The ground floor will be a retail mall where the shipping containers will be installed, with the idea that the low-cost booths will create a home for tenants who might not otherwise be able to lease traditional retail space, and create a unique 19 20
