🗣️ Call for Participation: Share Your Story 🗣️ Michelle Hamer’s powerful exhibition, I'm a Believer, gives voice to those whose chronic health issues have been marginalised and overlooked. To support this important work, Nobody Knows invites you to anonymously share your experiences of dismissive language, disbelief, and gaslighting in the patient-doctor-community relationship. Hamer encourages you to submit your story or that of a loved one—whether typed, handwritten, or in any language and form. Your contributions will be included in a limited edition artist book as part of the project's ongoing extension. 🔗 Upload or type your story here - https://lnkd.in/gp-6VaXj Monash University’s XYX Lab supports this project but is not a project of the Lab itself. #NobodyKnows #ChronicHealth #ArtForChange #MichelleHamer #CommunityArt #ShareYourStory

Very much looking forward to the VPELA conference this year. A great line up or keynote speakers. After my keynote "Safety in the face of chaos? Gender sensitive placemaking for diverse communities" I will be taking a group along the Lorne foreshore to discuss some real-life examples of how gender shapes perception of public space and how design can be used as a strategic tool for challenging inequity in communities.

We are thrilled to announce the dual promotion of Gene Bawden and Nicole Kalms to Professor at Monash University. As co-directors of the Monash University XYX Lab they lead an exceptional team of interdisciplinary researchers who exemplify unparalleled dedication to designing gender-sensitive cities. Congrats Niki and Gene! [Photo: Ella Mitchell].

Thanks to Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia and journalist Ruth McHugh-Dillon for this article on Monash University's XYX Lab research commissioned by Hannah Tonkin the inaugural Women's Safety Commissioner in NSW. Documenting perceptions of safety is a feminist act, YourGround lead researcher Dr Nicole Kalms says. "There is a form of solidarity with sharing those stories and creating a map that is an alternative dataset to how we might think about cities and communities," she says. "Women and gender diverse people are navigating public space all the time and for that reason we really need to pay attention to it." https://lnkd.in/gmbZqHnH
