Finished my skateboard piece for the upcoming #allhandsondeck2023 show at Beyond the Pale brewery. Japanese Firefly Squid painted in bright acrylic, UV reactive neon paint, and fancy blue glow in the dark for the squid's bioluminescent spots.

These will be auctioned off for charity at the end of May, running until the closing event on June 4th.

Finally - the long awaited Schedule for All Hands on Deck is now online - and registration too.

Chantel Carr and I are so excited to share this schedule with everyone. It has been a long time in development, and we feel so humbled to bring together so many incredible people, topics and disciplines into the one event.

All Hands on Deck is a cross-disciplinary symposium – centred on the topics of work, skill and material production in the context of climate change. In particular, it brings design into dialogue with the social sciences and political economy.

What is "All Hands on Deck"? It's a genuinely cross-disciplinary symposium @ UTS 19-21 July 2023, investigating the future of work, skill requirements and material production at a time of human and environmental calamity. It asks: What kinds of work – paid and unpaid – will be genuinely needed in the future, and what sorts of skills and capacities will this require? https://allhandsondeck2023.com/

Convened by myself and Dr Chantel Carr. The keynote speakers are Prof Alice Twemlow and Emeritus Prof Tim Ingold. Full speakers and abstracts lists due out in a matter of days... and the schedule and registration will be available soon after that.
