Deepen your interpretation of HOME by hearing from four members of the Creative Sphere, as they share their perspectives and practices of home.

Elle Davidson, Kaylie Salvatori, Clarence Slockee, Bradley Kerr

HOME invites audiences to physically interact with all objects and materiality with gentle and respectful hands, in recognition of the harm that can be caused when communities are physically restricted from interacting with cultural belongings. At the intersection of design, artistic and curatorial practice, what are the possibilities to redefine access, knowledge and agency within cultural collections?

Daniel Boyd, Jack Gillmer-Lilley, Prof. Emily McDaniel

HOME extended an invitation to the next generation of designers and architects to consider their personal understanding of home and to contribute a 'living belonging' to the exhibition. This conversation draws together educators, practitioners and industry leaders to contemplate a future of increased First Nations representation and practice.

Alongside the Australia Pavilion, a canal carves its way through the Giardini, placing HOME in an endless dialogue with the rise and fall of the Venetian tides. As we live upon, and alongside water, in closer conditions than ever before in what ways does our relationship to water shift? What are the responsibilities that water demands of us?

Kaylie Salvatori, Clarence Slockee, Prof. Emily McDaniel

HOME reflects a methodology of practice where engagement and relationship building is of equal importance to the tangible, built outcome. It's not just the buildings and cities we make, but the communities we care for along the way. How do we position people and communities at the heart of all projects?

Dr Michael Mossman, Kaylie Salvatori, Bradley Kerr, Prof. Emily McDaniel

Place holds memory, of everyone who has ever lived there and waits in anticipation of future generations that will call it home. How do we enliven the memory of place through the stories we tell, the songs we sing and the trace of our movement?

Every material of HOME tells a story. The rammed earth soil will be returned to it's original source. Limited fixtures are replaced by precise carpentry for a lighter touch upon the earth. The fluid forms of the plaster is reminiscent of homelands. As we acknowledge the significance of every material, how is our notion of sustainability redefined?
