Consent on the Street

Hosted by Meridian, Consent on the Street will explore the nuances of consent communication and street art as a communication platform. The expert panel will discuss models of consent, nightlife and street-life safety, as well as the value of street art as a medium to depict the nuances of a complex topic through a form of free communication to the broader community.

Panellists include:

Catherine Carter (MC): Catherine is CEO of Local Government Professionals Australia and Founder and Director of Salon Canberra where she maintains a focus on urban environments, place making, city building, stakeholder engagement, new forms of collaboration and diversity.

Yiannis Nikodellis - also known by the artist name ‘elthrowup’, is a queer illustrator living and working on Ngunnawal country.

Eleni Gabrielides – Eleni is Meridian’s Health Promotion Officer, and sexology student. Her passion lies in sexual safety, consent, and smashing stigma.
