Second Place

Open Source II

Building on the first iteration of the exhibition/workshop, Open Source II explores ways of working around and beyond institutional agendas in collective creative practice. The exhibition focuses on the idea of mutual aid as shared ways of working and collective spaces are increasingly difficult to access and achieve. It aims to draw together the individuals and collectives that, despite (or because of) increasingly scarce resources and precarious conditions, are emerging to share community, critical discussions and a joyful version of design practice.

The event will also marks the launch of Second Place's website, designed by Zenobia Ahmed and Dennis Grauel. As a collective working without a studio or office, the website initiates an evolving infrastructure through which we hope to support resource-scarce peers in collaborating, hosting projects, exhibiting work, building/sharing resources, and generating and sustaining communities of practice.

This project was generously supported by RMIT's Enabling Impact Platforms.
