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, driven by the primary agenda to make publicly visible discourses, issues and solutions relating to inequality.
In the establishment phase, participants contribute to the program itself through revising the title, the selection criteria and selection process for future applications in order to develop and maintain a healthy community and culture within the workspace. Applications are through an on-going open EOI process.
‘seat at the table’ will broadly engage a Contra Exchange program, Contra agreements are fundamentally a consensually designed exchange of space for programmable content or research outcomes in an area of relevant interest.
Outcomes become part of the Twosixty public program and/or the Twosixty website, with possible further outcome opportunities via project partners.
A long term seat or multiple short term seats are available to rent. The revenue will directly fund public outcomes of the residency seats.
Through process, design and action, we acknowledge, respect and thank the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation on whose lands this project is based.
