Rethinking Participation is a series of two x 2-day artist led think tanks, consultations, and responsive research gatherings that will explore new ways to collaborate and create site based participatory art projects in living-with-COVID environments.
14 established and emerging Adelaide based, regional and First Nations artists working across a diversity of arts practices (7 at each session) have been invited to reflect and respond to a series of three lead questions developed by the participants and OSCA in the lead up to the event.
- How has pandemic-related conditions affected your practice?
- What new ways of collaborating have / continue to emerged from pandemic-related restrictions?
- How has COVID-19 restrictions affected your sense of community and challenged the creation of shared experiences with the public?
These gatherings in August and September of 2022, are a significant professional and sector development opportunity for a broad range of SA artists to come together and discuss how they connect and continue to practice in these current times free from any production outcomes.
