Please join us at Bruce Mau’s Opening Keynote for Massive Action Sydney – a collaboration with UNSW Sydney.
UNSW ADA is partnering with designers Bruce Mau and Aiyemobisi (Bisi) Williams and their Massive Change Network on a collaborative project titled Massive Action Sydney to translate their 24 Massive Change principles (MC24) into a toolkit for creating Massive Action.
In this presentation you will meet Bruce and Bisi as they introduce us to the Massive Change Network methodology for life-centered design. They will also discuss their vision for this exciting collaboration with the Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture – Massive Action Sydney.
This collaboration aims to accelerate our ADA2051 faculty strategy commitment to seek and solve problems to improve life on earth. ADA staff and students have nominated to join this collaborative project which seeks to address three themes where Massive Action is needed: Power, Health and Climate. A further overarching project team will be addressing the concept of Acceleration in the context of collaboration. Interested participants were invited through an EOI process to nominate a problem related to one of these themes that they seek to solve through their work, and further identify the larger barriers they face that inhibit change on a massive scale or at pace.
During September Bruce and Bisi will be working with these nominated teams throughout three weeks of intensive workshops in a dedicated Centre for Massive Action studio space on our Art & Design campus in Paddington. This series of workshops will culminate in a showcase of the work and set the stage for a continued collaboration under the Massive Action project banner, which is being established as a multi partner collaboration across a number of major cities around the world. UNSW Sydney is the exclusive Australian partner for this exciting initiative.
Please arrive at 9:15am for a 9:30am start.
