Unsure about Designing with Country? Start with this event in October
Published
Several design groups are coming together on 29th October, 2025 for ‘grounded,’ a day of talks and workshops on Country-centred design.
Description provided by event organisers.
If you’re not sure where to start with Designing with Country and Country-centred Design practices, then join us for a First Nations designed and led day of yarns and workshops that unpack these practices with leading figures in the field contributing their expertise for the day.
Sessions are designed to be informal and interactive between presenters and participants to create space for honest conversations about the brilliant, sometimes boring and mind boggling corners of our industry.
Open to AILA, AIA and PIA members and all interested First Nations mob, this program aims to take down the barriers and offer space for industry professionals to get into what really matters to us, from where we stand.
