Sensory Waste

A Speculative Writing Workshop

14 May 2022
10am–12pm

Join artist collective Make or Break for an experimental storytelling workshop, where you will write, think, and share ideas from non-human perspectives. Their participatory installation Institutional Waste 2, in An Alternative Economics, invites speculation, thinking together, research, conversation, and hands-on making to dig into questions of sustainability as we face an uncertain future. The workshop will take this work as a point of departure to explore experimental storytelling.

An Alternative Economics features Australian and international artists who explore the creation of value. Guided by the idea of the circular economy—a compelling counternarrative to the untenable model of eternal growth—the show provokes us to reconsider what ‘counts’ in our society and why.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
