Two Up Talks

Overview

Putting the fun into fundamental learning, the Two Up talk series is a weekly event at Work-Shop HQ in Redfern. Two experts from completely disparate fields of interest will take the stage for 15 minutes to educate the audience on their topic of choice. Unique subjects are covered, stimulating ideas are thrown around and collaboration is necessary.

The first talk event is on Sunday, September 21, and will cover trash cinema and South American cooking, by Josh Wheatley and Andrew Levins respectively. Having completed his PhD on the topic at the University of Sydney, Wheatley looks past the stilted facade of glossy Hollywood blockbusters and analyses the underappreciated Z-grade films that dwell in the gutter of cinema history — the trashier the better. Andrew Levins, of The Dip fame will be providing some insight into South American cooking through an exploration of the culture that comes with local cuisine.

Start off the working week with some useful (or, at the very least, interesting) knowledge that you can whip out at parties next weekend.
