Leadrrr at Lake Macquarie creative industries symposium - 28 August 2023
Leadrrr designed and delivered a workshop at the Lake Macquarie GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) creative industries symposium on Risk and Recovery in August 2023. The workshop, delivered to a diverse audience of arts administrators, practitioners, curators, council members, and other community group representatives in the Lake Macquarie region, focused on an introduction to mapping in disaster contexts for creative communities, including mapping practices of geographic information systems (GIS), counter cartographies, and participatory mapping (e.g., drawing on paper maps together). The symposium was funded by the Australian Government under its Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Funding and Lake Macquarie City Council. Some images from the activity are below.
