Make only radical plans – 2023 Spring Encounters: with(in) place

Bell Train Station (meeting point) Bell St / Garnet St, Preston

“2023 Spring Encounters: with(in) place” is series of activities organised by the Alliance for Praxis Research (APR), composed by artists, researchers and PhD candidates from Monash and RMIT. Spring Encounters provides a platform for researchers, activists and artists to connect in a relaxed setting of informal conversations and action. Its purpose is to break the boundaries of disciplines and institutions, creating cracks for open dialogue and the sprouting of ideas. Our program this year will be hosted in different locations across Melbourne. This year, we've designed these gatherings as a means to nurture our connections with place and, simultaneously, to highlight initiatives that are collaboratively shaping communities across Melbourne. From Preston Market to the Catalyst Social Centre, we hope that by the end of this journey, we will be able to entangle relationships, cultivate care, ground ourselves, and reimagine our work and lives with(in) place. 09 September | Make only radical plans Meeting at Bell station | 10 to 12 pm Facilitated by Zheng Chin (APR/Monash University) + TBA Radical planning questions existing power structures to prioritise social justice, sustainability, and community empowerment. By reimagining urban spaces and engaging in social transformation, radical communities seek to create more equitable and […]

Everyday Oceans

RMIT Design Hub Gallery Building 100, Victoria Street, Carlton, Melbourne

Join us for an ocean take over in Wild Hope. Explore the art of Oceans Research and Climate Action Network (ORCA) members Fiona Hillary, Rebecca Olive and Jordan Lacey, who explore oceanic knowing through sound, film and virtual reality. ORCA aims to facilitate ecological exchanges that encourage new possibilities for imagining ways of living with bodies of water, to create a fluid archive of human, more-than-human and oceanic entanglements. Exploring oceans as a global commons, making themselves vulnerable to human-ocean entanglements helps them imagine new relationships and possibilities with multispecies places. Thinking with water through diverse media and in response to a range of aquatic locations, ORCA invites audiences to think about their relationships with the ocean in new, multi-sensory and multimedia ways. In this pop-up event, time-based works explore oceanic knowing through sound, film and virtual reality. No bookings necessary. This event is part of Wild Hope: Conversations for a Planetary Commons.
