We are at a point in time where we must urgently address global challenges such as climate change, human rights, migrations, increasing inequalities, the rights of nature, the importance of Indigenous knowledge, and human-environment interactions. An emergent geographies acknowledges the ways these challenges arise out of complex interactions and relations that require greater emphasis on interdisciplinary thinking and creative approaches.
Weaving Emergent Geographies brings together diverse responses to such challenges from different places and research collaborations at the intersections of creative methodologies, experimental art practice, and multi-layered geographies. The exhibition includes sound installations, photography, textiles, ceramics and print-making which express our various emergent relationships with place and offering ideas for creative engagement in times of disruptive change.
In conjunction with IAG2025 Institute of Australian Geographer’s Conference 30 June – 5 July
