Strategic Definitions

Creating clarity when there is ambiguity…

Our Vision

Nucleus- Be the steppingstone, inception, and centre for early-career artists. 

Fostering future artists- Training and mentoring the next generation of artists, musicians, performers, curators, writers, and programmers.

Purpose

Homely community arts centre- be the safe space and place for the community to come and create.

Emerging artist- is someone in the early stages of their career. “Someone who has a large body of work potentially developed during their studies and have not been officially recognised by an established institution or be very popular in the public sphere” (Clifford, 2016).

Collaborate- Be willing to work with the other resident artists or tenants to host exhibitions or workshops at House Conspiracy.

Experiment- Have the freedom and autonomy to create without fear.

Forge connections- Connect with established creatives in the Brisbane community and connect new creatives with the public through exhibitions or workshops.

Address what matters- Challenge injustices or highlight topics that matter to each artist during their residency and tenancy.

We acknowledge the Turrbal and Yugara people, the First Nations custodians of the lands where House Conspiracy now stands and that sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay respect to their Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits, recognising that these lands have always been places of teaching, creativity and learning. We acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play within our community.
