Kinship focussed residencies on Kaurna Yarta, for those who want to find a home amongst each other
Imagine an artist residency but rather than creating on your own the whole time, you're creating with friends or friends-to-be?
Starting from a brief, all the participants collaboratively brainstorm a series of projects to collaborate on. The brief is just a rough guide, think of this as the world your idea is going to exist in, it's not strict but it's a push in a stylistic or conceptual direction.
We then make formal plans for each project, divide responsibilities and come up with tool&material lists. We will be considering things like: feasability, designing things to last and translation to audience.
The idea can be literally anything. The only restrictions are against things that cause harm, exist purely digitally, or utilise AI/Cryptocurrency.

We will have ongoing online discourse and weekly catchup sessions to deliberate and knuckle down on plans and ideas! (Potluck style of course)
The space will be open to everyone 7 days a week to work on the projects! From 12am-6pm weekdays and 10am-10pm weekends. With the minimum expectation that you're there for one 6hr day on the weekend.
Our volunteer co-ordinators will be around working on their projects and assisting with tool use, locating bits and bobs and generally interfacing with the space, don't be afraid to ask a question!
How much does it cost?
It doesn't have to cost anything! We're funding projects to the course of ~$150per person for materials and tools. The only catch is any excess materials and all tools remain the property of the collective for others to use. We already has a large tool library and many resources to be exploited! Participants are encouraged to be resourceful but are welcome to spend their own money if they desire. This means the more collaborators you have on a single project the more money we can give to it :)
If you're financially well off you're also welcome to self-fund to reduce the overall load on the collective but we ask that it is done so in a similar light of leaving excess tools and resources behind for future projects, however how you go about that is up to you!
"Woah so it's free money to hang out with friends making art?"
Effectively, yes!
