Centre for Reworlding
The Centre for Reworlding continues to grow their body of critical work as an organisation and in dynamic partnerships + collaborations to subvert conventional platforms for engaging with the colonial crisis of climate change. Indigenous ontologies and approaches inform programs and projects such as Knowledge Keepers, Creative Resilience Lab, BILYA and JOY WORK. We embrace ‘deliberate structured improvisation’ as an emergent creative ‘reworlding’ methodology for working deeply and collaboratively in the ‘un-ness’ of these uncertain, unpredictable and unprecedented times. We do this work because our future generations are counting on us.

What if there was a way to connect all the different people working in the intersections of climate, art and culture?
What is BILYA?
BILYA is an online relational map of people, projects, and organisations who are engaging with the climate emergency through artistic practices and other aligning fields and disciplines.
BILYA is a way to support deeper transdisciplinary collaboration – across climate adaptation, social sciences, social justice, software design, Indigenous data sovereignty, culture, and the arts. It helps organise and build capacity in the sector by supporting people (artists, organisations, funders, researchers, climate professionals, etc.) connect, learn, archive, collaborate, and share knowledge and resources.
If you are….
...an artist or arts organisation making or staging work
...a climate activist or community organiser making waves
...a funding body or industry leader looking to develop or invest in creative climate adaptation projects
...a producer or stage manager working behind the scenes to create sustainability and climate-ready resources
...a researcher or journalist interested in connecting with climate artists for interviews
...a local government worker or climate professional seeking new ways to collaborate with the arts
…then BILYA is for you.
BILYA is becoming an evidence base of practice to support sector adaptation in the climate emergency context.

BILYA is grounded in Indigenous data sovereignty and ICIP principles. BILYA creators believe that IDS and ICIP benefits everyone. You should have a right to your data and how it is managed, verified and acknowledged. BILYA data will never be sold.
