We kick off with some thoughts on how Carceral Logics impact our daily lives in a miriad of ways that often interfer with our ability to form connections with one another and build communities. In other words 'Kill the cop in your head and kick down prisons you make.'

Lastly former guest of the show David Boarder Giles joins us with sound artist Sonia Leber to tell us all about an exhibit called Local Positioning Systems. The exhibit reimagines a 3CR original podcast and show, Homeless in Hotels produced by Kelly Whitworth and Patrick ‘Spike’ Chiappalone.
From the event page:
Local Positioning Systems, a soundscape by Sonia Leber and David Chesworth finds resonance in the Victorian Quaker Centre, whose re-designed gathering space fosters shared listening under an overhead portal to the world. The soundscape is created from the voices of hundreds of Melbourne’s homeless, who reflect on systems of support, personal safety and self-determination with clarity and insight. They consider the right to occupy a place while navigating systematic relocations and drawing strength from peer solidarity.
The event includes a participatory drawing project by Simon Grennan and Ilona Jetmar aimed at prompting audience responses around homelessness and housing precarity.
Presented by the Deakin University HOME Strategic Research and Innovation Centre and Public Exchange Bureau Research Group, with original recordings drawn from peer-produced radio program Homeless in Hotels podcast as featured on radio station 3CR.
