Event details

Date: Saturday 20th June 2026

Time: (Duration 4 hours) 11am - 3pm

Location: Think+DO Tank Foundation Community House

Participants will be provided with food and refreshments.

About this event

Think+DO Tank is proud to partner with DAAR (Decolonising Architecture Art Research) in their new program for the 25th Biennale of Sydney 2026, haṣīra (حصیرة): Framing and Unframing.

As part of the 25th Biennale of Sydney and in collaboration with DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Research), Think+DO Tank Foundation has been inviting community members to gather on hașīra to practice being in dialogue with one another and finding the path to action together. We warmly invite you to join us for the final gathering in this chapter of the conversation.

Together, we will reflect on what has emerged, strengthen connections across community, and imagine what we can do together next.

Through multilingual conversations, shared provocations, and small group discussions, this gathering will create space to explore future possibilities, collective action, and the relationships needed to carry this work forward.

How we gather together

The haṣira (حصیرة) frames territory, creates a room without walls, and declares: Here we host. Here we belong for as long as we are here.

The haṣira (حصیرة) is a place of exchange, centred on hospitality and shared responsibility. It holds space for diverse perspectives and voices.

By participating in this event, we invite you to help build a core haṣīra (حصیرة) community. We ask that you bring an open heart and mind, with a willingness to engage in respectful, meaningful dialogue – listening actively and speaking thoughtfully.

Lost In Books Reading List

The Home is Now - Biennale of Sydney 2026 reading list, recommended by Think+DO Tank Foundation’s Lost In Books team, brings together works from leading Australian and international authors, tackling the legacies of colonialism and displacement. These are powerful stories of sovereignty, memory, and hope, bridging the political and the personal.
