This two-day learning event is for artists who are interest in learning about, and practicing in ways that are 'socially engaged'. Using a mix of presentations, case studies, reading material and group activities, this weekend will give participants a practical, theoretical and ethical background in socially engaged practices.
Led by Vic McEwan, Sarah McEwan and Sarah Penicka-Smith with guest speakers Karenza Ebejer and Mitch King, this weekend workshop will provide opportunities to discuss and explore practice, with the aim of giving participants confidence to apply their socially engaged learnings within their own communities and projects.
Congratulations to Scott Baker (Bermagui) and Harriet Gillies (Sydney) on receiving the Scene Shift Residency in 2024!
Brand X and the Cad Factory look forward to hosting these artists in July and December.

'More than a Fish Kill' is an important new documentary exploring how artists, fisheries manager and Barkindji and Wiradjuri custodians came together in the aftermath of devastating fish kills along the Barka-Darling River and turned these ecological disasters into catalysts for cultural connection and revival. Produced by the National Museum of Australia in collaboration with the Cad Factory.
Listen to a discussion of the documentary and the events behind it on ABC Radio National's Big Ideas program.
