Access Ideas and Insights: Co-Design in Practice

Join us at ACO On The Pier or online as we examine co-design as a creative process when artists lead the development of new work.

Speakers will discuss how ideas are shaped, negotiated and sometimes challenged through collaboration, and how authorship and decision-making are shared across artists, communities and organisations.

From Songsmiths to Milk Crate Theatre, the panel showcases different approaches to co-design, highlighting how collaborative practice can shape creative processes, artistic outcomes and community development through meaningful engagement, connection and shared ownership.

Accessible Recordings: First Nations Storytelling

Earlier this year, Accessible Arts partnered with Bangarra Dance Theatre to present an Access Ideas and Insights event focused on First Nations storytelling as a central platform for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures, Identity and Empowerment.

This event explored Storytelling as a living knowledge system – one that sustains First Nations Cultures, including language and traditional practices, while respectfully shaping community connection and advocating for collective responsibility.

Check out the accessible recordings of this event.
