PDC Place Brisbane: A localised focus on the connections between Participatory Design and the More-than-Human

PDC Place will be hosted at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane Australia, located on the lands of the Turrbal and Yugara people. QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus is located next to the Victoria Parklands/Barrambin – an urban park in the beginning stages of transformation by Brisbane City Council. PDC Place Brisbane provides an opportunity for the participatory design community within Australia to reconnect after some time separated by hard border closures and travel restrictions. Motivation for a Brisbane-based PDC Place event stems from an enthusiasm from the local PD community within South-East Queensland to come together with each other, with Country, and with the broader PD community within our region. We particularly encourage Higher Degree Research students and early to mid-career researchers and academics interested in reflection and discussion around the intersection of participatory design with a more-than-human focus
