Description

Australian Exclusive Carriageworks

Do You Mean It? invites participants to explore the space between intention and expression. Through conversation and creative exercises, the session examines how social rituals, polite gestures and political correctness shape what we say, as separate to how we actually feel. A playful, searching workshop about sincerity, speech and the performances of everyday life.

Combining light performative exercises and group discussion, the workshop moves between the personal and the political, from the rhetoric of leaders and institutions to the everyday gestures of friendship, apology and affection. Rather than chasing answers, it opens a shared space to illuminate the difference between doing and meaning, between form and feeling.

“Conflictorium is not your average museum where you go, browse through historical facts and artefacts... the museum has been designed as a site to introspect on conflicts because acceptance is the first step towards resolution, or human refinement.”

"Utilises art, storytelling and interactive exhibits to evoke empathy, compassion and introspection”

Conflictorium

Conflictorium is a non-collecting, participatory museum that addresses the ideas, questions, and structures of conflict. Through interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches, we create spaces that are emotionally resonant, intellectually rigorous, and radically inclusive. We centre lived experiences of conflict—personal, political, and historical—and treat these narratives not only as documentation, but as heritage and artefact in their own right.
