Hear from arts collective and platform Baesianz on the foundations of creative community building through an anti-capitalist lens and how to nurture a collective ethos in an organic and sustainable way that’s in alignment with your core values.

What are the potentialities that can unravel when artists and practitioners collectively move together? How can we build creative communities that sustain and nurture us?

Using these questions as their springboard, Baesianz co-founders Sami Kimberley and Sarah Khan will begin by unpacking the formation of their art collective and platform Baesianz and the ethos that underpins their work.

They will speak to the importance of identifying the community purpose and shared goal which grounds your work as a collective, bringing in others who share your values, and how to make the most of the resources at your disposal when collaborating and working together as a collective.

We will end the session workshop-ing ideas around collaborative practice, ideating creative and artistic solutions to collective issues, and imagining ways we can move towards more liberated and interdependent futures for all through our practices.
