Earthship Futures: Radical Design for Community and Life
<p>Earthship Futures: Radical Design for Community and Life is a live conversation between Daryl Taylor and Oliver Vodeb, at 2026 Melbourne Design Week, recorded as part of the Radical Design Podcast. The discussion focuses on Taylor’s Earthship project in Kinglake, Victoria – an experimental natural building initiative developed through international participatory workshops following the Black Saturday mega-firestorm, Australia’s worst natural disaster. </p><br><p>The session explores how community-led design and architecture can support socio-ecological restoration and regenerativity, post-disaster community recovery and discovery, and social and emotional resilience. Drawing on lived experience, the speakers will examine undisciplined and fringe design knowledge, co-liberatory climate-responsive design processes and practices, and the role of design in rebuilding both physical and social infrastructure in disaster-vulnerable and -impacted regions. The event took the form of a moderated dialogue followed by audience Q&A and discussion. *We were also joined by Serenity Hill, a food sovereignty community activist.</p><br><p>Daryl Taylor</p><p>Daryl Taylor is a pioneering Melbourne-based builder, educator, and community leader, known for constructing Victoria’s first council-approved Earthship in Kinglake—a radically sustainable, fire-resistant home built from recycled materials after losing his own in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. As a lived-experience mental health and neurodivergency advocate, he has shaped policy and education in community development, disaster resilience, and participatory design across government, NGO, and academic sectors, teaching at five Melbourne universities and co-authoring influential works on post-disaster recovery. Daryl’s work—spanning eco-design, permaculture, and community-led resilience—has earned national awards and features in ABC News and Grand Designs Australia, while his initiatives like Facing Fire, Biocultural Futures, and Retro-Futures continue to inspire sustainable, adaptive living in the age of climate change.</p><p>Visit our website: https://memefest.org/knowledge/memefest-radical-design/</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Jane Naylor and Oliver Vodeb: How to Go on an Artstrike?!
<p>The amazing Jane Naylor speaks with Oliver Vodeb about how to go on an Artstrike. Jane reassessed her art practice, went on an Artstrike and developed the concept of *Rt. Find out what this means, and how could you do it yourself. Besides this, we talk about deeper and more nuanced ways on how to distinguish Art from Art in ways that help us see through the BullS*** Art World and what it calls Art. Oh, and one thing we really LOVE: Jane speaks about her work in relation to solidarity and the ephemeral!
