Lose and Find Victoria - A participatory art trail
About
Designer and artist Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad has designed a participatory art trail around Victoria for Delfina Foundation as part of the Inside Out festival hosted by Create Victoria, Land Securities. The 2-hour mapping workshop/game will collectively explore the unregistered places and opinions within the area in response to pending redevelopment.
Working in small groups, participants are encouraged to explore the qualities of Victoria in a time of change before setting out in a race against the clock to accomplish a series of public interactions and observations. Together, the group will co-produce a limited edition and alternative map of the area ' a copy of which participants will get to keep.
Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad was one of Delfina Foundation's UK-based associate artists for both the Politics of Food 2014 and the Public Domain programmes.
