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.
For this collaborative project, Think+DO Tank is hosting a series of four sessions where participants will gather on haṣīra (woven Palestinian mats) on unceded Aboriginal Land, in locations across Sydney, where people of different geographies come together for a facilitated discussion and where grief, refusal, joy, and co-struggle can be shared.
Through HOME IS NOW, Think+DO Tank Foundation brings its deep commitment to community-led, place-based creative practice into partnership with DAAR creating space for collective hosting, reflection and belonging grounded in lived experience.
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.

We are seeking expressions of interest for volunteer members of the public with a strong commitment to decolonial practice to participate in this shared program.

Please ensure you submit your expression of interest to join the community.
