RESET Sydney will be held at Sydney Town Hall on Saturday June 13 from 7-9 pm.
Historically, Town Hall gatherings were sites of political discussion and action where communities would gather to discuss and resolve collective concerns. A core idea of this new project from artist Richard Bell, RESET, is one of direct action: to reclaim collective spaces as sites of free expression and collective resolution for community.
Bell’s longstanding interest in Aboriginal Lands Rights, Sovereignty and Treaties has evolved over time. His project EMBASSY, which acted as a satellite of the ongoing 1972 Aboriginal Embassy, arose out of that interest. RESET begins with a case to replace Australia’s constitution. Beyond that, it will seek to provide a model and a process for any entity, be it a collective, social club, a company-operative, a limited liability company or a nation/state. The project will be part of the 2026 Sydney Biennale, asking (and answering) what a constitution for the 21st century might look like.
The town hall events will be community oriented with a sausage sizzle. It will also feature musical performance by Marlene Cummins.
