Workroom Conversations: Creative Practice as World-Building
Join us for a new Workroom Conversation series introducing questions of world-building through creative practice as an act of world-building in its own right.
Each session opens with a guest speaker, either a practitioner or thinker, sharing their research and practice, exploring how we ‘make world’ through culture and practice and how we use acts of worlding to highlight, advance and re-address the power balance towards non-dominant narratives voices.
After the presentation the group may discuss the research covered and how the guests’ ideas around the topic feed into a broader discourse around world-building as a necessary practice for making and changing culture.
