Innovating for a Better World
Weave Arts Centre, CarriageWorks precinct, North Eveleigh
This exciting new ASIX initiative will comprise five key program components –
- An art exhibition designed for non-established artists with a passion for some aspect of social changemaking to use a cross-media, installation artwork to explore their chosen issue
- A gala launch event on the evening of Friday 13 April
- An expo or fair for organisations and groups to promote their work on social innovation and citizen-engaged changemaking
- Workshops, forums and special events held during the Expo/Fair and throughout the Festival run by Festival sponsor/partner groups
- Much of the Festival program will be webcasted to allow broad participation from the ASIX community
The intent of the Festival is to –
- Promote and celebrate the work of Australian groups engaged in social innovation
- Draw attention to the important social challenges facing Australia and our world
- Explore the use of the arts and cultural practice in social innovation
- Build the ASIX community and support for our work
There will be many opportunities for individuals and groups to be involved in the Festival –
