XYX Lab is a team of experienced designers + researchers exploring gender-sensitive design practices and theory.
About us
XYX Lab is a team of experienced design researchers exploring gender-sensitive design practices and theory. Our work operates at the intersection of gender, identity, urban space and advocacy. Through our research, we bring together planners, policymakers, local government and stakeholders to make tangible the experiences of underrepresented communities in urban space and planning. XYX Lab is grounded in feminist and queer theory and activated through real-world projects. Equal parts qualitative and quantitative research, we regularly work to collect and analyse data and experiences in order to generate deeper understanding and support our design projects. Our approach is inclusive of all gender and sexual identities. Building equity into urban life requires long-term vision and a strategic - often radical - approach to the design process. We do not seek quick-fix design solutions, but rather seek to offer insights and create moments that contribute towards a larger movement for change.

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.
Sometimes the ‘right’ solution isn’t the easiest one. This years’ conference is a festival of provocative ideas, exploring how challenging the norm can help us find the diamonds that emerge under the pressure of developing the built environment around us. Prepare to be challenged, prepare to be provoked, perhaps look at something differently at this year’s conference. Keynote speakers include Anna Meares OAM OLY AO, Olympian, Nick McKenzie, Investigative Journalist with The Age, The Hon. Sonya Kilkenny, Minister for Planning, Angus Clelland, CEO, Mental Health First Aid; Nicole Kalms, Faculty of Art Design and Architecture, Monash University, Jason Clarke and Lisa Smith, Minds at Work.

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
