Collaboratory Season 1

Values in Action

00:00 / 00:36:16

Reflecting on the values, mindsets and attitudes that we bring to our work is critical for fostering co-creativity. Our guests Dimitrios Papalexis and Aruna Venkatachalam, who work within the community development arts and corporate sectors, share insights about what guides their work and how they have put these values into practice. Topics explored include:

How Dimitrios and Aruna’s unique life experiences, cultural influences and exposure to different worldviews have shaped their values and how they work
Useful frameworks and tools for fostering co-creativity and identifying the strengths of a community or organisation, such as asset-based community development (ABCD) and ‘jugaad’, a strengths-based approach
The value of creating safe spaces which facilitate collaboration and trusting relationships and how the cultures of the organisations and systems we work in can greatly influence how we work and interact with others, and
The importance of looking within and possibly reconsidering our mindsets and values to better enable us to listen actively to others, build on strengths and be comfortable in the unknown

Collaboratory Season 1

Music, Co-Creativity and Cultures: A Conversation with Kim Cunio

00:00 / 00:35:25

Music provides a fascinating example of co-creativity in action – whether that be through the coming together of instruments and performers, the space in which the music is played, or the process of audience members listening to music. Musician and academic, Kim Cunio, reflects on the co-creative musical projects that he has been involved with and shares insights into the responsibilities that different cultural roles and relationships require of us. Topics explored include:

Embracing the complexities of being positioned as the ‘other’ when engaging in non-traditional research
How Kim’s diverse cultural background combined with his creative and technical skills influences his approach to musical practice
The process of seeking cultural authority to work with particular knowledges and traditions
The challenges of transferring a co-creative musical approach into organisational and institutional settings such as universities
How music can help us understand what co-creation is and how it happens

Navigating Positionality and Power

Dec 16, 2022

Collaboratory Season 1

Navigating Positionality and Power

00:00 / 00:34:30

How can our identities, knowledge, values and biases influence how we work? Our guests Kaira Zoe Cañete, Emma Blomkamp, Shona Coyne and Jilda Andrews seek to answer this question by drawing from their co-creative experiences from various sectors including social policy, academic research, and cultural institutions. Topics they explore include:

The importance of recognising our positionality to assess our roles in co-creative practices and identify any blind spots or biases
How to navigate the ‘middle ground’ and develop an understanding and appreciation for multiple perspectives
Techniques for understanding the impacts of positionality on our practice, such as peer learning and reflection

Dec 2, 2022

Collaboratory Season 1

Community Engagement and Consent: A Conversation with Azure Hermes

00:00 / 00:40:28

Community engagement and ensuring informed consent are highly important processes when engaging in co-creative research with Indigenous communities. Azure Hermes, Deputy Director of the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG), shares her experiences navigating through these processes in her work with Indigenous communities consulting about potential uses of historical blood samples held by NCIG. Topics explored in the conversation with Azure include:

Azures’ process of learning how to do community engagement on complex and sometimes contentious issues
Changes in ethical standards over time for conducting genetic medical research, and engaging Indigenous people in research in general
How effective process of community engagement can form the basis of trust, protocols of access and informed consent, even for potentially unknown future uses of research material
The challenges associated with gaining iterative consent, where consent is gained multiple times during a process for each new step or use
