seat at the table
seat at the table is a shared workspace prioritising and supporting creatives, academics, and political works focused on racial and gender equity.
Located on the second floor at Brunswick Town Hall, across the road from Twosixty, the room is accessed via stairs only. A desk with facilities and daily access is provided to support equity practices and work towards a public outcome at Twosixty. This could be an event, a public discussion, an art project or more.
You can become a seat holder in this program by submitting an application. Applications focused on racial and gender equity will be prioritised.
Expressions of interest are assessed by the long term seat holders to ensure people and projects are well aligned to create a cross-disciplinary dialogue about racial and gender equity.
You can also support us, and the important research that is happening, by making a financial contribution without booking a seat. All financial support directly funds the public outcomes of the long term seat holders. e.g. racial equity talks, decolonial activism, creative exhibition or events.
