Melbourne Design Week at the Market

'What [*things*] Are Melburnians Willing to Share?' is a one-week participatory exhibition by Lauren Brumley and Corey Ferguson, presented in the SO:ME Space. It invites visitors to temporarily contribute an item they’d be willing to share - or request something they wish to borrow - exploring alternatives to ownership through a growing “library of things.”

Across the week, shared items and requests form a live visualisation of community needs and generosity. The exhibition concludes with a closing event and discussion reflecting on what collective sharing can offer urban communities.

Items are checked in during Market hours and collected at the end of the exhibition. Contributions are display-only and securely stored when the Market is closed. Click here if you'd like to contribute or request an item, by filling out an item form (you will be taken to an external website).
