“What we practice at the small scale sets the patterns for the whole system” (adrienne maree brown, 2017, p.53)
This workshop is designed to help practitioners from a range of disciplines envisage and explore opportunities to seed systems change through small-scale interventions in their everyday practices.
The hands-on activity demonstrates how relational theories of systems change can be applied in practice to awaken and inspire individual and collective agency. We have adapted Dickie Humphries’ work on Indigenising systems and systems change to visualise the agential relationships between our individual practices and larger structures.
Taking time to locate and explore these critical connections and exchanges offers opportunities to play with small-scale interventions and ‘micro-moves’ that can be put to work to move our practices in ways that can seed and support large-scale structural shifts we hope to see in the world.
