BECOMING WITH: Rooted Worlds, Relational practice, entangled futures

Created for the George Paton Gallery at University of Melbourne, this workshop uses ecological frameworks to assert that creative practice is never solitary, that
it emerges through relation and is defined by the rhythms, resistances, and invitations of the worlds we are entangled with. Human and more-than-human. Seen and unseen.

In a time of ongoing rupture and uncertainty, how might our practices root deeper?How might we co-create with the wisdom of ecologies that know how to adapt, regenerate, and endure?

This workshop invited artists, writers, and creative practitioners into an embodied and experimental inquiry guided by more-than-human intelligences exploring our own flows of practice, their origins, comrades and teachers.

Through a series of interactive and sensorial exercise, participants attuned to patterns of interdependence and explored how drawing closer to these might offer different processes of creating new art.
