Join us for an interactive yarn exploring earth, sound, and touch through Indigenous design and knowledge systems
How do we engage with earth, sound, and touch to deepen our connection to the environment? In our second BLAKitecture forum, join Bradley Kerr (Windsor Kerr), Clarence Slockee (Gardening Australia), Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, and Kaylie Salvatori (Country Oriented Landscape Architecture) for an interactive yarn exploring sensory engagement and design grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems.
Linked to the Australian Pavilion for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, this conversation will consider our relationships with all living things and reflect on “home” as a convergence of memory, sensation, and future. Led by a Creative Sphere of First Nations architects and practitioners, HOME challenges conventional architectural practices and fosters deep connections through sustainable, culturally rich design and programming.
MPavilion’s annual BLAKitecture forum aims to centralise Indigenous voices in conversations about architecture, the representation of histories, and the present and future states of our built environments. The eighth BLAKitecture series features three talks responding to our program series, curated by Bradley Kerr, a member of MPavilion’s Curatorial Collective.
HOME is supported by the Australian Institute of Architects, Brickworks, and Creative Australia.
