Funded Activity Summary

ART, PLAY, RISK: An interdisciplinary approach to child-friendly cities. ART, PLAY, RISK will provide new creative and scholarly research into how artworks contribute amenity to public spaces, with a specific focus on questions of risk-in-play in both legal and cultural paradigms. A key methodology is to develop a public child-led playable sculpture project, designed to test creative assumptions about the sorts of art children actually want in their dense urban landscapes, enabling analysis of their play-behaviours, including: self-imposed boundaries of risk, creativity, challenge and comfort. Understanding the playability of public art from a child’s perspective will generate solutions addressing the future of child-friendly cities in Australia, as defined by UNICEF’s Child-Friendly-Cities policy.
