Forms of Connection

Connection was embraced in different forms throughout the Connect Project by, for example, setting up a more inclusive community with dialogues, contributions, and collaborations.

Dialogues

Our team has spoken at conferences and group meetings to discuss lived experiences and share our knowledge gained from our project.

“We have done a lot of learning and gained so much experience from the project, because our individual cultures and languages are somewhat intersected.
We are still learning from each other from listening and working together through art.”

“Access is not about something that is finished - it is an ongoing process. It is about staying open to feedback, adapting when needed, and ensuring the work remains responsive over time.”

“You get to see who people really are, maybe parts of themselves that they don't fully understand or see.”

Connect Workshop Attendee

”Engineering moments for connection and co-creation (as achieved by the Connect Workshop) are essential if we wish ourselves a meaningful future. Only through meeting one another will we be able to put access at the forefront of our means of communication and creation. I commend the creators for their magic in putting these experiences together”
