This is an initial summary of the proceedings from the playtank workshop which was actualised in December 2019 at AARE in Brisbane. The activities, scripting, presentation, and materials were created by the Playtank Collective (Alicia, Alli and Sarah) to enact new materialist understanding and provide participants with a way to re-imagine their research spaces in joyful, playful, and collaborative means. All material was selected/created to be reused or composted, which occured in Melbourne at the University of Melbourne's community garden.
This project also received a bursary from the AARE Post-structuralist Sig which we would like to thank and acknowledge.
