ABOUT THE BOOK
The Relationship is the Project: Working with Communities
Edited by Jade Lillie, with Kate Larsen, Cara Kirkwood and Jax Jacki Brown
A brilliant new ‘right now’ resource that aims to assist emerging practitioners, artists and cultural workers better engage with community-based projects.
The breadth of the advice shared in this non-academic, practitioner-led book includes insights into the ethics and logistics of working in community contexts – from collaboration and leadership to platforming and duty of care.
Featuring 20 curated chapters from thought-leaders across the arts, cultural and community sectors, this unique publication is a must-have resource for community-engaged practice.
Contributors include Genevieve Grieves about working in First Nations contexts; Caroline Bowditch on access and disability; Dianne Jones, Odette Kelada and Lilly Brown on racial literacy; Ruth De Souza and Robyn Higgins on cultural safety in the arts; as well as Esther Anatolitis, Adolfo Aranjuez, Paschal Berry, Lenine Bourke, Tania Cañas, Rosie Dennis, Alia Gabres, Eleanor Jackson, Samuel Kanaan-Oringo, Fotis Kapetopoulos, Kate Larsen, Lia Pa’apa’a, Anna Reece, Daniel Santangeli, and Jade Lillie herself.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
This project is also supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
This project is an outcome from Jade Lillie’s time as a 2018/19 Sidney Myer Creative Fellow. Thank you to Sidney Myer Fund for supporting artists and practitioners through the Creative Fellowship and associated initiatives.

We do most of our work in a place known as Melbourne, which long before this colonial name was actually known as Birraranga, sitting on the curl of what we have called Port Phillip Bay, which for far longer has been known as Naarm. We acknowledge the first and continuing custodians of this land, the people of the Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung language groups of the Kulin nation, and pay deep respects to Elders past and present.
Please note: Peril provides these details as a courtesy, but we’re not in charge of the events, so please don’t harrass us if the Facebook page is down for a particular event – unless we make that really really clear, in which case you’ll know because we’ll probably be hounding to you come along.
