The Atlas of Belonging is an independent Australian research project exploring how belonging has been, and can be, enabled for the benefit of diverse communities. The event invites participants to reflect on what belonging means to them, where it has been experienced and how this knowledge can inform the design of future spaces and places.

Drawing on insights from Jack Howes – HoMie, Nornie Bero – Mabu Mabu and Tai Snaith – artist & author, the event combines a panel discussion and ‘choose your own style’ workshop. Through storytelling, mapping, reflection and co-design, participants will identify patterns of inclusion and contribute to a living Atlas of design strategies and indicators.

Shaping the Atlas of Belonging is curated by Jocelyn Chiew – Atlas creator and Director Place Assembly, Tim Dow – Director Tim Rob Don Dow and Annelise Porter – Owner UrbanID.
