TALK / FORUM
An interactive discussion on the adventures of Gang Festival 05/06, a creative cultural exchange between 16 artist-run spaces from 2 countries over 7 months, culminating in a Chippendale take-over of streets, residences and local parks.

This workshop is designed for arts workers from the broadest range of practices who want to understand the bigger picture in a creative political economy. Participants will learn about the significance of progressive art spaces in Sydney’s history, and strategies to stimulate insurrection within your local arts constabularies. Using the game board ‘Monopoly’ as an example of the worst kind of template for a city, participants will work together to creatively transform these components of civic space and make the game fairer. Participants are encouraged to bring audacity and ideas.
