The lecture will draw on the experiences and lessons learned through Art House’s REFUGE project (2016-2022) - a multi-year transdisciplinary project - where artists, emergency service providers, local government and communities rehearsed climate-related emergencies and explored the impact of creativity in disaster preparedness; the creative methodologies underpinning the work of the Centre for Reworlding; and, how speculative practices and Indigenous pedagogies might offer valuable insights in how we prepare for a future impacted by climate change.

Jen will also introduce the Centre for Reworlding's project BILYA, an innovative relational mapping platform in development as part of the H.C. Coombs Creative Art Fellowship.
