Curator

I am Dr Kirsten Moegerlein, a designer, researcher and artist, living on Jaara Country. I was born on Wurundjeri Country and I am of German and Irish/English descent.

My creative practice is centred around cultivating seeds of cultural renewal to be planted in the (future) ashes of the modern / colonial world. Through my creative practice, I work with change-makers, ethical organisations and artists who are re-enchanting ways of being, making and relating.

Creativity at its root means ‘to bring into being’. Bringing things into being in collaboration with others, is at the heart of my practice. Following my intuition I facilitate, scaffold, and carefully create the conditions for co-creation. I work with symbolism, myth, metaphor, and the animate world as wayfinders along the creative path. I consider creativity to be a deeply valuable gift that we all possess and a vital way to praise the living world.

The process of co-creation can be a wild dance. I have learnt to enjoy this liminal space – to trust the unfolding conversation and whatever shows up within the process – to be intimate with uncertainty and delight in spontaneity.

MAPPING COMPLEXITY

Visual mapping is emerging as an excellent tool to help individuals and groups navigate and communicate the complexity of their work. Visual mapping both reveals and enables sense-making to occur and be communicated more broadly to others.

...overcoming patriachy requires an internal cultural healing, the revitalisation of traditions and the creation of new ones, the realisation that a civilisation based on love of life is a far better option than one based on destruction.
