The 2013 Tasmanian Architecture Awards was a night of recognition for Liminal. In addition to receiving the highest honours architecture award, Liminal’s Peta Heffernan received the Emerging Architect Prize – a Prize that recognises leadership, design excellence and contribution to the architectural profession and cultural community by an architect in the early stages of their career.
Peta was one of 40 global designers, one of two architects, invited to speak at the recent 2013 agIdeas International Design Forum at Melbourne’s Convention Centre. Peta describes her participation throughout the week as an extraordinary experience, and recalls the moment of walking out on the vast stage and seeing a sea of faces – 2100 people to be exact - as one she will never forget!
Excitement is building as the Geeveston Child and Family Centre nears completion.
Liminal Graphics was invited by Desktop to create a psychogeographic map of Hobart. The concept of psychogeography was developed by French philosopher Guy Debord in 1955 and refers to the practice of traversing the urban environment while being led by curiosity rather than following a set traditional path.

A site specific experience - for 20 minutes, see the everyday through the shifted lens of dementia. For more information and tickets go to Salamanca Arts Centre website.
ECHO Part 1 - A Neurological Soundscape is the beginning of a larger work that explores the inner world of dementia in an intimate setting.

Liminal Spaces has enjoyed collaborating with the artist, Mairi Ward and Allanah Dopson of Handmark Gallery to create a 'Designer Room' inspired by Mairi's extensive range of work for her upcoming exhibition at Handmark. Liminal is joined by Georgina Freeman and Sandy Robinson who will also create a space to exhibit Mairi's work.
