City Mobilities is a three-day intensive exploring ideas about the way we access, move, and engage in public spaces. City Mobilities is an ongoing initiative between The Mill and OSCA, supported by the City of Adelaide Strategic Partnership program.

The workshop is open to artists and non-artists interested in gaining new skills and knowledge in creating site-based art projects. Participants will work with the lead artists Tom Borgas (The Mill resident artist) and Paul Gazzola (OSCA Artistic Director) to explore how we can rethink and reconfigure the city’s infrastructure into other forms and functionalities. 

What Participants Can Expect:

This 3 day workshop will explore a variety of visual, design and performance making methods to highlight, question and renegotiate the importance of individual participation in public space. Participants will be invited to research various city sites and public spaces and develop a series of conceptual and physical responses in a collaborative studio-based set up. 

The masterclass will:

  • Offer participants a fertile space to share, learn, create, and exchange ideas, skills, and processes

  • Open-up new ways of thinking, doing, and making in a collaborative and collegial gathering

  • Stimulate and support the skills development of SA artists seeking new approaches to working within the public domain
