West Space will host Parasite to present diverse and innovative ideas that support the practices of living artists in Australia and beyond. Please apply to participate in this diverse and engaging discussion of present issues facing the independent arts sector in Australia.

WHERE: West Space, Level 1, 225 Bourke Street, Melbourne
APPLY: Expressions of Interest open until 5pm 24 November
Curators Ema Tavola (Fiji) and Gabi Ngcobo (South Africa) will lead discussions and workshops to consider what methods of cooperation and resistance are required to work within and beyond the sometimes sedimented, exclusionary institutions of art. Together, participants will imagine inventive ways to survive independently, and/or parasitically draw on, reroute and subvert art’s cultural capital to create challenging, critical work and new systems of knowledge.
The discussion process will centre around the participants’ interpretation and experience of the principles in relation to work they have produced or have observed. Ema describes this process of facilitating dialogue as Talanoa – a Moana Oceania / Pacific process of discussion that enables multiples voices and mutual learning. She will discuss her PIMPImanifesto, a set of 23 principles that guide and underpin her curatorial practice.
Capacity is limited to 40 participants, so please apply through the expression of interest process to be considered via this google form: https://goo.gl/forms/fCPOXF4oRdJ9QZOQ2
