Participation in Action

Activity: Community Talks, Presentations, Exhibitions and EventsPerformance/exhibition

Description

The power of participation in co-realising unique ideas for places, spaces and programs highlights how design and creative practices enable us to come together to make decisions and shape our future. This showcase of photography, film and drawing shines a light on four projects developed in collaboration with diverse communities across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The practitioners and researchers that have co-authored these projects experiment with various participatory methods and socially engaged creative practices, prioritising process as much as outcome. In doing this, relationships, initiatives and time become the project, with built or spatial outcomes expressing only one aspect of a larger sum of parts. These highly relational ways of working highlight a shift in ways of thinking about how conceptions of built and spatial environments can foreground inclusion, self-determination and positive social change. This exhibition contributed to the program for Melbourne Design Week 2024.
