Another World Library
Another World is a portable library and art project focused on imagining ecologically and socially just futures through collective world building, learning, and research.
In 2022, AW was in residence at Bus Project, Composite Site, and Watch This Space Gallery. At Bus, the collection was available for visitors to read, and AW held a six-week course called Utopian Visions based on imagining sustainable futures, queer ecology, and interspecies kinship, co-facilitated by Vincent Silk.
At Watch This Space, AW ran three creative writing and readings workshops on imagining futures on the places we call home.
In 2023, AW ran a reading group called Communising Care at Composite Site, reading Sophie Lewis’s book Family Abolition, alongside supplementary texts on community care. AW also ran the Utopian Visions Course #2: ecology, inter-species kinship and the zoo-opolis, at Composite, as well as a four-part creative writing workshop for young people in Brimbank. AW was also a guest librarian at the Arts Gen Library at Footscray Arts Centre, running a workshop on creatively imagining futures and curating a selection of books for the library.
In 2024, AW collaborated with A Climate for Art to run Waste of Energy, a reading group exploring the links between art, work, and climate crisis. In 2025, we have continued the group and read Four Futures by Peter Frase, and Discard Studies by Josh Lepawsky and Max Liboiron.
Most recently, AW collaborated with Panda Wong to run a two-part workshop on Synanthropes, exploring the animals who live near us through discussion, reading, and writing exercises.
