DISRUPT, by Alex Hotchin, RMIT University and STREAT, was a storytelling project and exhibition which mapped the stories of Melbourne. It was an ongoing collaboration and a living artwork, made possible by a series of creative writing workshops in 2019.
During Melbourne Knowledge Week, passers-by could watch the story map unfold with 'story litter' – an archive of found texts, spotted and collected from city streets by STREAT, a social enterprise dedicated to helping homeless and disadvantaged young people.
Melbourne Knowledge Week is a City of Melbourne initiative encouraging people to explore ideas and take action about our future through 7 days of talks, workshops, performances and celebrations.
