Informal Sport and the Urban Commons
Visit the Arts Precinct at Macquarie University during this year's 2023 Social Sciences Week for a special preview of research findings from a visual ethnography project, Informal Sport and the Urban Commons, exploring the role that informal sport plays in facilitating social inclusion in the global city. Between September 5 to 8, the Theatrette at the Intercultural Foyer located inside the Arts Precinct will come to life with video interviews and documentary photography taken with temporary migrant workers in Singapore who share stories about the significance of informal sport in their everyday lives. Informal Sport and the Urban Commons is a visual ethnography that aims to provoke reflection on the intersection between leisure practices, migrant place-making, and the right to the city.

Everyday Oceans
Everyday Oceans
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.
