Joy Work in Desperate Times with Centre for Reworlding

  • Free
  • Talk

Are you passionate about finding creative solutions for a climate-impacted future?

Join award-winning artists Dr Jen Rae and Claire G Coleman (Centre for Reworlding) for a palaver – a generative conversation to find 'joy work' in these desperate times.

Palavers are (anti-) facilitated discussions grounded in relationality, similar to a talking, yarning or knowledge circle used for conflict resolution and collaborative conversations. For this palaver, the artists will provide cues and provocations to get us thinking creatively about how we might prepare for the reality of climate change.

Informed by First Nations knowledge systems and collective Centre for Reworlding’s protocols, these discussions are a space to sit in the unknown while bringing forth the collective experience and knowledge of the group.
