Collaboratory is written, edited and produced by Maya Haviland with production and editorial assistance from Nicole Deen. Audio engineering by Nick McCorriston. Music made especially for us by Seprock. Additional research and production support by Yichen Li.



Collaboratory is produced on the lands of the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri  people. We pay our respects, an ongoing gratitude to the custodian's past present and future of the lands on which we work and of the knowledges from which we learn.







Collaboratory is a production of the Scaffolding Cultural Co-creativity Project hosted by the Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies in the College of Arts and Social Sciences at the Australian National University funding is generously provided by the Australian National University Translational Fellowship Scheme.

Music provides a fascinating example of co-creativity in action – whether that be through the coming together of instruments and performers, the space in which the music is played, or the process of audience members listening to music. Musician and academic, Kim Cunio, reflects on the co-creative musical projects that he has been involved with and shares insights into the responsibilities that different cultural roles and relationships require of us. Topics explored include:




Embracing the complexities of being positioned as the ‘other’ when engaging in non-traditional research



How Kim’s diverse cultural background combined with his creative and technical skills influences his approach to musical practice



The process of seeking cultural authority to work with particular knowledges and traditions



The challenges of transferring a co-creative musical approach into organisational and institutional settings such as universities



How music can help us understand what co-creation is and how it happens

How can our identities, knowledge, values and biases influence how we work? Our guests Kaira Zoe Cañete, Emma Blomkamp, Shona Coyne and Jilda Andrews seek to answer this question by drawing from their co-creative experiences from various sectors including social policy, academic research, and cultural institutions. Topics they explore include:




The importance of recognising our positionality to assess our roles in co-creative practices and identify any blind spots or biases



How to navigate the ‘middle ground’ and develop an understanding and appreciation for multiple perspectives



Techniques for understanding the impacts of positionality on our practice, such as peer learning and reflection

Community engagement and ensuring informed consent are highly important processes when engaging in co-creative research with Indigenous communities. Azure Hermes, Deputy Director of the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG), shares her experiences navigating through these processes in her work with Indigenous communities consulting about potential uses of historical blood samples held by NCIG. Topics explored in the conversation with Azure include:




Azures' process of learning how to do community engagement on complex and sometimes contentious issues



Changes in ethical standards over time for conducting genetic medical research, and engaging Indigenous people in research in general



How effective process of community engagement can form the basis of trust, protocols of access and informed consent, even for potentially unknown future uses of research material



The challenges associated with gaining iterative consent, where consent is gained multiple times during a process for each new step or use

In this episode of the Collaboratory Conversation Series, Kaira Zoe Cañete shares reflections from her recent PhD research in the Philippines, and offers some practical advice on what it takes to co-create research that gives back to its participants rather than just extracting knowledge. 



In this edited conversation with Kaira, we explore:




How Kaira’s background influenced the approach she took to her research



The development and use of her photo-based research tool with women in urban communities in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan



How she approached and engaged with women as co-creative research participants



The complexities of sharing power and control in a research project



The importance of self-reflection and awareness as a researcher



The value of co-creative research for participants




While Kaira's story focuses on academic research, the experiences and insights she shares are relevant for anyone wanting to engage authentically with community members to co-create something together.
