"Imprint Growing Up Planned presents new works by a group of eight artists, architects and academics who have all shared the experience of being born or spending a period of their early childhood in Canberra at this significant time of the city's development. Then, like many of their generation, they all left a city that was still in many ways a small town and made their adult lives elsewhere. To say that you came from Canberra was likely to invite a reaction that might range from pitying sympathy to mild scorn so it wasn't something that would be often ventured in conversation. To make new work now however, that is a professional re-engagement with the city has been an opportunity that all have found important. "
