Cultivator presented together with Lower Murray Water at the IAP2 Conference held in Sydney in 2019.
A 40-minute hands-on workshop provided participants an insight to the principles and theories behind human centred design and true engagement to shape and drive a community project.
The workshop challenges participants to think differently about their environment, community, and how a new approach to engagement can yield extraordinary results.
Participants will brainstorm, develop and share concepts and design a piece of large-scale art which will be presented back to the group in digital form plus be able to receive a digital copy of the artwork created during the workshop. In addition, IAP2 would have the ability to use the one of a kind artwork created by conference participants to promote future events, conferences and participation in the workshops.

Members of the Mildura community of all ages gathered together at The Lab to learn some new creative skills and have a lot of fun along the way at Cultivator’s Type & Tee workshop in June.
Running for three days, the workshop explored different ways type can be created and applied, learning basic skills in typography, hand lettering and screen printing.
The workshop was a huge success, with everyone enjoying themselves in activities including “good type and bad type” photography, large-scale drawing and handcrafting type, and concluded with everyone walking away with one of their typographical designs screen printed on a t-shirt for them to wear with pride.
“I loved the experience of the whole three days. It was great to learn new skills and develop my old ones. I met some new and inspiring people and made some creative artwork. On the whole I loved every molecule of the workshop!”
