Join us for a one day event: 'Footscray Pop Up School' Maddern Square Footscray Saturday November 19th 12pm-4pm. This day will be made up of exhibitions of learning and teaching from Footscray's diverse population. Exhibited will be our communities learning from the past, present and the future. The day will feature recording of memories of learning, reenactments of schooling, opportunities to teach and to learn from community members, a digital map of Footscray's schooling history and the opportunity to bring a book to symbolise knowledge you would like to have be remembered for the future.

This article examines performativity of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) historical archives to argue such performance is an act of resistance to the ahistorical neoliberal commodi cation of queer. LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive and A Wandering Archive is a project initiated by artist and academic E.G. Crichton. In A Wandering Archive, I collaborated with E.G. Crichton to enact lineage intertwining our subjectivities in a public reading of an unpublished manuscript Ruth Reid and Kent Hyde, a Memoir. What does an archive o er as resistance? How can an archive be performed? Performativity such as this project is a model for archival retrieval. This article interrogates an enactment of GLBT history as performance. This article will address the discursive determinants of neoliberalism’s demand for an ahistorical positioning of queer sexualities, subsuming sexualities as plurality and thus rendering them benign. LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive and A Wandering Archive exemplifes the intersection of sexualities and creativity as culturally productive sites.

In this article I examine the possibilities of reparation in an era of privatisation and de-industrialisation. I examine the effect of a recent project Sunshine Memory Space, a space, designed to evoke memories of a de-industrialised urban Melbourne suburb Sunshine. This project offered the opportunity for the effects of industrial change to be publically represented, remembered and valued. I offer an analysis of the significance of relational localised curatorial work.

We understand public pedagogies to be the many sites in which teaching and learning takes place outside formal institutions. These include public institutions like museums, libraries, neighbourhood houses and community centres as well as in the arts, through community engagement and public history. This conference seeks to engage people who participate with learning and teaching in practice, research and the evaluation of public pedagogies and invites discussion on the challenges, achievements and best practice in this field. Following on from our successful 2015 conference this year we are expanding to include a day dedicated to understanding public pedagogies through practical workshops focused on arts based learning and professional development. Abstracts and descriptions of workshops of no more than 300 words will be accepted up until Friday the 26th of August. Paper and workshop presentations should be accompanied by a 100 word biographical note.

This article is the beginning of a theoretical reading of a project undertaken by the Public Pedagogies Institute a Pop Up School and Educational Consciousness. Drawing on Biesta’s notion of publicness we initially describe the Pop Up School event. We argue that in this project we look to extend the way the knowledge profile of an area can be more fully informed by turning to the community itself for their articulations and representations of their knowledge. When then offer distinct readings of this research/public event with Deleuze and Barad as they offer a dynamic engagement with knowledge. The paper then moves between the small space of the public event and the larger space of Footscray through Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cosmologies and
pedagogies. Time is called then into play as a psychoanalytic reading of Footscray, memory and knowledge are read from the interview data. The final steps bring Footscray sharply through time with a reading of ‘consumptionscapes’ of Footscray knowledge.
