Visit an artist’s studio, a librarian at the State Library, a beekeeper in the CBD or a kitchen in a five-star restaurant. Through a Technopia Tour, the concealed working parts of Melbourne open up. Participants contribute to a progressive collaborative drawing as the events unfold.

Several tours are offered daily. Select your tour from the Performing Mobilities website or from the Technopia Tours representative in the foyer of RMIT Gallery. Tour sizes and duration vary according to the destination. Bookings can be made by email prior to departure with a gold coin donation confirming passage on the day. All proceeds go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

Sharing one of the fundamentals of her own art-making practice through the hand-drawn record of the journey as an ‘alternative’ documentation, Kim Donaldson merges the work of the artist with the work of others in the city, and places both within the frame of the language and tropes of the tourism industry. The tours investigate an industry, a city, and a set of work processes through the sharing of artistic, curatorial, and performative practices – a ‘persistent form of seriousness’.
